ch got a call and text from the sil yesterday asking him if he was at work and if so, could he pick her up a bottle of tylenol on the way home? she figures (or most likely has been told) she has strep throat.
as it happens, ch was at home hanging out before golf. he got the texts and came rushing into the bedroom to ask me if we had any and could we give it to her. HELL NO. i wont surrender my stash, especially not to her, and besides, my drug of choice is advil, not tylenol. so he stewed for a bit and then went to shoppers and got it for her. DROVE TO SHOPPERS. GOT IT FOR HER. meanwhile she lives a km from here and is equidistant to shoppers, but stayed home and LET him go out for her.
it really fries me. i can get that maybe asking someone to get something on the way past is better than getting it yourself, i really can. but to sit back and let him leave his house, go to the drugstore, and drop it off for her is BEYOND lazy and if you ask me, way beyond manipulative and devious. like i said, she lives up here and there is NO reason why she couldnt just go herself and do it. i mean, what would she do if ch wasnt around? she'd have to go anyway. i would NEVER sit back and make anyone do my bidding the way she can carelessly do. it's like it's completely ingrained in her to command and expect.
i also love the "do as i say, not as i do" mantra they all live by. we had been up in yyc last month to take the kids to the stampede and she dog sat for us. when we arrived at ch's parents' place, the mil had left a note specifically instructing us which bedroom we should sleep in. it was said without saying it that we had to KEEP OUT of the sil's room. and when i went up there to investigate, the sil had the tv, the alarm clock, the queen bed, all in a room that used to be ch's back when we started dating. somehow she has now usurped his room and we are to stay out of it. so in the meantime while we are being told to stay out, she and the mil came over to let the dogs out and helped themselves to beer out of our fridge and sat and drank it. i know this because my mil told me this in passing and i sarcastically said, 'well OF COURSE you did', because OF COURSE they'd tell you to stay out of something while simultaneously invading your space.
the hypocrisy in this family just irks me something fierce and i think i'm getting to the point where it's going to burst out and i'm going to say something relatively soon. i dont know how much more of it i can take. i long for the day where ch will stand up to all of them and finally say NO.
