[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The OP may be a troll, but the people in this thread are so juvenile, vulgar, and classless. True gutter Jerry Springer audience members of the soul. That response was *way* out of line when speaking to any man’s wife, let alone his own brother’s wife. [/quote]

She contacted him first and made a rude demand. She got back what she was dishing out. Who did she think she was to contact him and talk to him that way?[/quote]
She “texted him and asked him why he never took her kids anywhere that it was not fair.” That may be whiny, but it’s not rude and it’s definitely not disrespectful. What the brother said was.

Do we teach our children to speak to others that way? Of course not, but because OP’s wife is allegedly some horrible woman who should be divorced immediately and she deserves to get put in her place? GMAFB. Vile. [/quote]

I’m not the person you’re responding to, but come on. Of course it’s super rude to contact a random person ([b]absolutely nobody to you, by blood or marriage[/b]) and demand that they spend tens of thousands of dollars on your kids taking them on vacations just because they feel entitled to it because they need to watch another kid get it. Nobody normal does that. The brother got annoyed and understandably so. Honestly she’s lucky he didn’t just tell her to F off. I’m sure he had to hold that back and feels like he did a pretty good job restraining himself!

NP but he's literally her brother in law.  By marriage.

OP you sound like a weird observer in your own family.  You've been with this woman for seven years and you don't think it's strange that your family doesn't care to get to know her beyond pleasantries?  You don't particularly care about your stepdaughters even though you've known them since elementary school, you don't care enough about your own daughter not to join families with someone whose kids she dislikes enough to avoid your house, you don't care enough about your wife to tell you brother not to curse at her.  You're just kind of drifting through, surrounded by people behaving various degrees of badly and reporting back on their behavior with little investment or awareness to how you're contributing to this dysfunction.  It's bizarre, but I think this is a troll so who cares.[/quote]

Brother in law is nobody in this case. She’s not his blood and she didn’t marry him. Brother in law sometimes means something in families because it’s the blood uncle for your kids. Which isn’t the case here. This guy has no relation whatsoever to this woman. And he has no relation whatsoever to her kids.[/quote]
What a bizarre take on in laws. We don’t have kids but my husband’s brother is not a nobody to me or vice versa. And despite not popping me out of her womb, my husband’s mother is related to me too *gasp!*[/quote]

Well that’s your take on it. Personally I don’t think you owe them anything and they don’t owe you anything. Once you have kids, things change slightly since your kids are blood related to them.

If you choose to have friendships with your in-laws because of mutual respect then that’s great. But they aren’t related to you.[/quote]
They’re literally related by marriage. That’s the definition of being related by marriage. The world doesn’t revolve around your petty opinion, Janice![/quote]
