[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Petty vent. For 20 plus years SIL tries to one up us and any interest we or the kids have suddenly become her interests so she can compete. Last night we announced an important change we are making that requires a financial investment that we’ve been talking about for 20 years. It’s very specific. SIL’s response - OH. DH and I are going to do that too, just bigger and better. Then she spent the rest of the conversation talking about herself. All from a woman who has never worked a day in 20 years. Whatever. [/quote]

I’m still trying to imagine making a big announcement to my family about a financial investment at Christmas. [/quote]

It wasn’t a big announcement. Poor wording on my part. It came up at dinner and for those that know us and care they knew it was a big deal to us. We never talk about ourselves since SIL does all the talking and needs to be the center but it came up. [/quote]

NP I don't think that's weird. People definitely talk about big things at Christmas time like new jobs, starting companies, buying a new house... I mean it's family, not a group of acquaintances. [/quote]
