I'm angry. And I'll tell you why. Because quite frankly I need to vent out a little steam and the best place to do it is online to people you don't actually know.

So I guess a lot of you know I'm moving, if not now you do. I'm moving back over to Tennessee where my entire family lives (plus a lot of friends)

My sister-in-law called last night and my husband told her we were moving to TN. She was all "Well why would you want to move there?" So we attempt to explain it. Obviously the words just flew right over her head. So she starts yelling going on and on about how you're supposed to "be near family".

Hello? Whats my family a bunch of rocks? We've lived near my husband dad and stepmom for a year (ten minutes away) and we've seen them ten times! The only time they ever call is if its a Holiday or if they need something.

The worse thing? His sister-in-law is complaining that we're moving to TN and guess where she lives? MISSOURI! So now instead of being eighteen hours away we're going to be EIGHT! But thats not good enough because we're not living there.

So she yells, talks about how Missouri has snow and lakes and hot summers (erm...so does TN >>) and then hangs up to attempt to tell the entire family how much of an evil b---- I am and what not.

Daniel is going over to his parents house tonight to try and pacify them. We're not sure if they are going to be mad but I'm afraid to go over there. We've tried to tell them numerous times, but they never ever answer their phone.

You know, no matter how hard you try you can't make everyone happy so you have to do what is going to make you and your husband happy. If your husband is fine with the move to TN then who cares what your SIL thinks. Thought her going and bad mouthing you to everyone is waaaaay out of line and I would be super pissed too!! I hope she calms downs and your husbands dad and stepmom take the news okay!

People can be exceptionally frustrating sometimes. So. . .I'm not sure if I'm just cursed but I'm fairly certain that both of my sister-in-laws have inferiority complexes and need ALL of the attention ALL of the time. Here's my frustrating story about sister-in-laws. . .the week that my hubby and I were to get married, my hubby's sister decided to move AND decided that she needed my hubby's help. So. . .my husband left for three days (we had a fantastic fight about that) to go help his sister move and I was left with ALL of the last minute wedding planning. In defense of my husband though, if he hadn't have helped, it would have been just his mother helping his selfish sister move. I understand that his sister and her husband wanted to move for a variety of reasons; however, why that week? Couldn't it have waited a week or been done the week before? I'm still getting pissed off just thinking about eight months later. . .ugh. So I think what I was trying to say here is that you're not alone! I empathize for you!

Ugh so she moved right before you got married? Sounds like a "LETS ALL PAY ATTENTION TO ME!" kind of deal.

The thing is before this I liked her! She was nice! A little idiotic but shes at the "Oh wow I'm an adult!" stage in life. You know when you turn 18 (forgive me if anyone in here is eighteen) and you automatically need to move out and stuff.

Basically the hubby is fine with the move, except hes a little nervous about quitting his job. But other than that its good. He wants me near more family. I'm very shy socially, unless I know people. So pretty much I never leave the house unless its with him. He figures if I have more family and friends around then I'll become less shy. Plus he wants to be near more family (mine will be between 15 minutes and three hours away. The ones that will be close to us are like 6 hours and 10 hours, which is a huge difference between 18 hours) when we have kids.

Another funny thing, SIL is complaining about us moving to TN because its not near 'family' (hello my family counts too!) and then she suggests we move to Colorado! NO ONE LIVES IN COLORADO!

I've got a HUGE family! Daniel has two sets of parents (both he cares about) and each has like 2-4 siblings. So its not like we've got one cousin and an aunt. No.

Sorry for ranting.

well..Davids little sister is a.. well...whore and a slut..and..a baby. she just turned 13 last week. and she's not exactly..skinny either, but she doesnt seem to care. she'll wear short skirts, bikinis, ect. she has a very bad mouth too. we even found a book in her room about "what to expect when your expecting" eek WTF?! why would a, at the time, 12 year old need a book like that? his mom doesnt seem to care either. Tori, the 13 year old, will scream and yell and cry and break things if she doesnt get her way. theyve gone through so many phones because of her. she always wants to spend their money that they need for rent and food on stupid things she doesnt need. big family, one income. the brother isnt that great either. Travis steals stuff and even brought out a knife on David. the only sibling of Davids that i like is his older sister DeeDee. her, David, and their dad seem to be the only sane ones in the family. (just to be fair, my family isnt all that great either. there's my older brother, my younger brother and my dad. seems to be all the males in my family..)
rant done now.. sweatdrop

In-laws can be trial, can't they? I married into what may be the weirdest group of people I've ever encountered. My husband's father barely speaks to us (he blew Dan off at Christmas, for pity's sake!) then bitches because "none of his kids know him." His stepmom seems nice, and we correspond by email with a degree of regularity. His older brother is a hunting-fishing freak, the younger brother is a sweetheart though. His sisters are basically ok, I think. His mother committed suicide a few years ago and no one could be bothered to tell him. Fortunately, this bunch of flakes lives a couple of states away, so I only have to deal with them occasionally on the phone.
