I am so sick and tired of my husband's family lying and being rude that I could just scream. I have banned one of my brother-in-law's from our house - FOREVER!!!
On Labor Day brother-in-law # 1 (Tracy has three brothers and he is the oldest. BIL # 1 is the next in line, BIL # 2 the next and BIL # 3 the youngest.) calls my cell phone while we are enjoying a day out at Carowinds. (The only "vacation" the two of us have gotten all year is the company outing.) Basically, BIL # 1 wants to my husband to take a trip to Mississippi to see their mom. But no women allowed. When Tracy said he wasn't going to go unless I could go, BIL # 1 said something horrible. (I am so glad I didn't answer my phone or he'd have gotten an ear full!)
My mother-in-law called me yesterday to ask if we had been invited to the beach for the "family outing" that BIL # 1 had planned. I didn't know anything about it, so we called Tracy and asked him. He didn't know anything about it either. But BIL #1told his mom that everyone was invited and that he had invited us. LIAR!! LIAR!! PANTS ON FIRE!! We were never invited.
Needless to say that using, back stabbing, lying sorry jerk is not allowed back into this house ever again. The only time he does come over is when he wants to borrow DVDs because he his too cheap to rent them from the video store right down the street from his house. Or he will call and ask if he can have an extra keyboard for his son to bang on. (I told him we didn't have any extra keyboards! I am tired of him using us.)
Last year, we didn't knw what was going on for Thanksgiving until the day before. By then, Tracy and I had already made plans with my best friend and her family (my extended family!). Gee I guess that didn't sit to well with BIL # 1. BOO HOO!! CRY ME A RIVER!!
He made sure we knew what was going on for Christmas though. Of course, no one brought gifts for anyone but me and Tracy. And we cheated! We have a huge stocking and filled it up with stuff from the dollar store and they all got a Gift-in-a-Jar from me and Tracy. They still had to supply the rest of the ingredients for the muffins or brownies! TEE HEE!!
I refuse to have anything else to do with BIL # 1. I love BIL # 2 and # 3, and do keep in touch with them and will continue to do so. I can tell that BIL # 1 takes after their dad, who is a real creepazoid. (Like father like son!) Thank God Tracy didn't turn out like daddy!
I told Tracy he ought to call his brother and ask what time we are supposed to be at the beach house and get the directions so we can get there. (Not that we would go!) Then we just wouldn't show up. Let them wonder what happened!
Okay. Now that that is off my chest, I feel so much better!

Either that or forever let your answering machine pick up.
What did your husband say in the end?
Seriously, family are the people who treat you like family, blood notwithstanding.
I tend to just stay away from people like that. It is just too stressful to try to ignore them. Sorry that this has happend to you.
We went because his mother paid for me and my son to join them(very fixed income here, and SiL knows that)...
She moved closer, I have not gone to see her yet.
This was a year after she was late for our wedding...almost an hour late.
So yea,....I feel ya.
