Yup.
One sister has made horrible relationship choices her whole life. I won't get into the seedy details. But every time another one blows up in her face, its "Poor L. It's so awful what so-and-do did to her" Like it's the first time. And like it's always the guys fault. Trust me, she has her own issues that she brings to the relationships! And since her relationships last about an average of 5 years before she does something to blow them up, this goes on quite regularly. She is getting married for the 3rd time in Oct, and has known the guy for about 3 years, so I'm thinking about holding off on the wedding gift until 2017 just to make sure they are still together. LOL
Meanwhile, the rest of us have stable relationships or are married, but that is never recognized.
My brother is quite younger than me. Until he moved out of the house, my mother was still making him lunches. She probably still would if she could. Any sort of lunch consideration (making one, having food in the house to pack, or being given money to buy one) pretty much stopped for the rest of us at about age 10.
Also, apparently our "inheritance" from our mother (HA!!!) will be split between all of us, but brother will be getting 75% of it, and the rest of us are sharing the other 25% because brother needs more than we do. I told my mother to just go ahead and donate my $5.00 to my brother
On DH's side, it's one of his sisters. She definitely has a relationship with DFIL that nobody else will ever have! To the point where, when her kids and my kids were younger, we stopped seeing that side of the family for a while because all it was was a big bragfest about all the great things FIL would do for SIL and kids. Like trips to WDW, sleepovers, movies, Christmas gifts. etc.
Two things that broke the camels back:
1. We found out that SIL and her kids would go to FIL's house earlier than everyone else on Christmas morning because he bought them better and more presents than the rest of the kids (who consisted of mine, who was about 6 at the time, and BIL's DD who was the same age as the "golden" grandchild - around 4 or so) and they had them come early so the rest of us didn't know what she got. Unfortunately, the aduls forgot to tell the kid not to say anything LOL and she spilled the beans at Christmas Dinner. That was a fun holiday, let me tell you!
2. FIL and his wife "nana" would have golden grandchild call my son during their outings to tell him that he just HAS to go see such and such movie because it is so good and they just saw it, but they gotta run now because Papa is waiting to take them out for lunch.
Seriously!!!!!! True stories!
