georgejungle Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Oh, You know Pete"..."He's into doing his own thing" One of my wife's brothers hasn’t grown up…Rarely calls my wife, rarely goes to visit their parents, at things like Thanksgivin/xmas at our house, he'll show up whenever he wants, but will play on his Gameboy basically the whole time he's there or be texting and will eat, then leave with a smile and act like we’re boring. Wife's parents allow this behavior. They totally welcome him and treat him like they are SOOOO happy to see him, wanna know what he’s been up to (since he never calls them)...He never cares, just acts too cool for school. Acts annoyed if he has to talk about it. They are pushover types he's 33 or 34. Parties all the time, has no real goals, works part time and plays video games the rest of his time or plays with his bands he’s a guitar player. As a Son-in law to the family, i don't feel it's my place to say anything if i think he's acting rude towards my In-laws or my wife at our house But now it's starting to really rub me the wrong way. And if it IS at OUR house, i feel I have the right to say something. Wife's parent's excuse is always : "Oh, You know Pete"..."He's into doing his own thing". “We wish he’d call every now and then, but you know him”. I'm just as guilty of supporting him in the past with his Music and ignoring his rudeness or lack of compassion for the family because as I said, I never felt it was my place to say, since I’m family but by Law It’s starting to IRRITATE me and I wanna tell him to get a life sometimes Link to post Share on other sites
Angelina Nisse Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 I agree that you have the right to defend your wife against his rudeness, but his "rudeness" to his mother and other family, was probably created by, and ennabled by them...... If they wanted him to stop, they would say so..... Link to post Share on other sites
