Advice request: How to do with stupid relatives?

scaeagles · 02-22-2009, 03:12 PM

OK....I don't know how to handle this. My wife has two stupid brothers who are both control freaks and a mom who just wants everyone to get along. My wife hates conflict and just wants everything to be OK.

So there is conflict right now regarding my mother in laws bday. Just one example of thousands. One brother texts my wife at 12:00 today and says they are having a birthday get together for her at 3:00. We had plans. So they are freaking out about it. They also decided after we had already purchased a gift for her that we had to go in with them on something else. Not going to do it. They are freaking out about it. This happens all the time.

Would just write them off and be done with them for eternity except for what it does to my mother in law.

What should I do? I'm am getting reall, really tired of this.
