This in response to the email you sent about birthdays and Christmas presents and all subsequent emails that have been sent back and forth between your brother and you.  Since I was included in them I am answering them, even though your brother will not let me actually send this to you.

As far as you being out on disability for 2 or 3 months and you are now behind on your bills – or so you stated – try being in our shoes and being on it for more than 4 years – do you remember that we have kids at home?

How about why should I buy you a birthday present when I have done so for the last 12 years and have yet to receive one from you?  After all we have been sister-in-laws for the last 9 of those years.  Your brother still wants to send one from both of us, even though you continually ignore my birthday and are less than pleasant to him when you do decide to give us a call.  Your rendition of “Happy Birthday” that included the line about looking and smelling like a monkey that you left on our voice mail for your brother’s birthday was totally juvenile.  We try to overlook that part of you, but honey since you constantly do stuff like that, it makes it rather difficult.

Oh, and your indignation about mentioning the girls?  First, let me remind you that you asked about them and exchanging presents in your first email.  Second, as of last Christmas you said, “If they decide to exchange presents with me on birthdays we will see what happens.”   So it should come to no surprise to you that they aren’t exchanging birthday presents with you since both of their’s were first and you didn’t call much less send a card or present.  But there you are worrying about who will be getting you something.

As to exchanging lists for Christmas being “told what to get someone”; honey, I don’t know anyone who is rich enough in this family to get everything that someone has listed on a Christmas list unless they have listed only one item that retails for under $10.  Usually there is a minimum of 10 items on a typical list of varying prices so you get one or two things, maybe three if they are inexpensive or just one big one.  I have no idea what planet you live on or what corner of the world you come from that is so markedly different from the one that the rest of us inhabit.

From what I have known about you and witnessed you are a very immature, spoiled little beyotch who whines worse than any 3 yr old that I have ever had the chance to encounter.  You run to your “mommy” about every little thing that you perceive as a ’slight’ from another family member and expect her to fight your battles for you.  Honey, even the fact that you call your mom “mommy” at your age is so strange I don’t even want to go there.   Your behavior has done so much to ruin relationships within the family that I, for one, am done with you.   I can only hope and pray that one day your brother will come to see what you continue to do to hurt those of us that he loves.

Sincerely,

Just wanted to drop in for a moment and say that I will be posting sometime in the next couple of days.  Have a few things to write about and I think that I found my words.

May all of you and your’s have a very Happy Thanksgiving!!
