[quote=Anonymous]This is my situation. I have the same brother in law! I am not jealous, envious of course, who wouldn't want to have more money but, you know, if someone has to have it and it isn't me I would rather it was someone I care about. My BIL talks about his stuff all the time, he is always right, he goes on about his next car, race horses etc, holidays. It gets a little annoying after a while. My sister is increadibly insecure and I am concerned about upsetting her if I say something or stay away.  We used to be able to manage the situation by seeing them for short periods only and diffused with children but now that sister and BIL have moved away  and children are older it is more difficult. We just spent a weekend with them and I am quite emotionally drained. I think the poster who said salesmen are just like that is spot on with my BIL. I am sure he doesn't mean to be boasty, it is just how he is. The other thing is we just don't have much in common with my sister and BIL, our kids are different ages, we do different jobs, different things for fun etc. I would like to stay away and maybe have an occasional meal together but I know my sister will insist that we visit for weekend and will be genuinely hurt if we don't. I love these guys, I really do, but you know, we don't have much to talk about and what ends up happening is BIL just talks about all his stuff endlessly and it becomes very uncomfortable. [/quote]
