@just_kitten@aussie.zone Ended up saying happy birthday to SIL. One more forced dinner out for the year (bday) then I don't have to worry about them until xmas :) Which is an awful thing to say.

Wise and strong! It seems like that's the best choice to avoid drama as much as possible. I don't think it's awful at all to be relieved that you can avoid dealing with people who've displayed such entitled and childish behaviour. Doesn't matter if they're your own blood relatives even.

I swear I can't bear eating out with my BIL, he has the manners of an arsehole. I was going to say pig but pigs have manners of their own.

I try not to look.
