i have a love hate relationship with the sil.
there are some days i can get along with her, and others where she is so insufferable and narcissistic i just want to puke.
i was thinking about her today because she dropped off ch's bday presents for him yesterday. she had texted me wondering if we'd be home yesterday and wanted to drop the stuff off. instead, she went to the shop and did it there. i find it kind of annoying because she will look for any excuse to go to our store and hang out there. on the other hand, i'm relieved because she becomes ch's problem and not mine. if she was coming here, i'd feel as if i'd have to clean up the house because she is a neat freak. when she's all up in my kitchen, my anxiety rises and i stress out, much the same way the inlaws piss me off and give me anxiety issues.
anyway, i was thinking about her because she dropped off a big bag full of tshirts and shorts and swim trunks for ch. nice enough gesture, and i know i really shouldnt hack, but she is one big assed ball of vanilla boringness. every tshirt in there was white, even the shorts were plain black, and the swimsuit was a boring grey. when there are SO many colors and styles out there, why on earth would you go and pick out a plain grey pair of trunks? her entire wardrobe is either black, white, or grey, so i can see her imposing her ideas on ch, but it's SO irritating. what's worse is she thinks it's all normal to go and buy outfits for everyone in the family. i just dont get it.
while she was at the shop, she also dropped off ch's snorkel mask and tube and our digital thermostat. fuck, she is running her parents' errands for them. she just found out a week ago that we were going to hawaii and so she went home and got ch's snorkel mask. every single time we go away on a hot vacation, his dad gets up in our grills about the snorkel gear and how we should pack it and go snorkelling. it's nonstop badgering and nagging that we should pack that shit. and now by proxy, she's fucking up in our faces about snorkelling! fuck off! i think they even dropped off a snorkel set here at our house, or else insisted we pack it on some lame vacation, and it never came out of the fucking suitcase. but they are So adamant that we take and pack that shit, once again imposing their fucking wishes and plans on us. it drives me nuts. so ch just threw this snorkel set on the spare room bed (because isnt that where everything useless goes?? FUCK) and it will sit there. i asked him if he was going to take it and he said "oh i dunno", which translates to NO. he's too afraid to outright say "no" or "i dont want it" to any of these cocksuckers, so we get stuck with this shit piled into our house.
same with the digital thermostat...once again, my fil is getting his nose in our business. he had installed a digital thermostat months ago and then the thing fucking shorted out to the tune of $600 in november. we put the old one back on there and left it, but it wasnt good enough for the fil. he kept phoning us every time canadian tire put out a flyer, to let us know that they were on sale. when his nagging didnt sink in and we didnt automatically drop everything we were doing and sprint to the store after he called, he just took matters into his own hands and bought us one. so i kinda said something snarky about it last night to ch and he was all defensive and saying that it was "on sale"...
what that means is that the fil will fucking butt in here the first chance he has, which i think will be next weekend (woooo, i'm going SHOPPING in yyc....even if it is with the dysfunctional friend...who cares...no inlaws!!) and install it. they are in mexico right now, but you can bet they'll be here the first weekend they possibly can be to fucking butt in and interrupt our lives and yet again take over our house. i swear, he wont rest until our house looks exactly like his and we do everything he does.
but my whole jist to this post is that the sil is a big gigantic puppet for the parents. it's like they just stick their hand up her ass and move her mouth and their words come tumbling out. it's to the point now where she's almost past being a puppet and is more of an extension or an appendage. it's her hand (but really theirs) delivering the digital thermostat and snorkelling gear. it's her voice, but it's her dad's doing the nagging about what "should" be done around here.
this fucking family drives me nuts. i wish they'd wake up and realise that the entire world does not aspire to be anything like any of them.
