*raises her hand*
Well, HATE is a strong word. Uncomfortable is probably more appropriate. I'm getting married in 5 days, and I can't say I'm looking forward to the wedding in the slightest. We tried to keep it as small as possible, and, unfortunately, that meant only inviting immediate family. FFIL is one of 12 kids (10 or 11 of whom survive) so inviting all FH's aunts and uncles would have broken the bank, not counting all their kids, and THEIR kids. FFIL doesn't care much for this idea, though he would never come right out and say it. He hints around about it. His suggestion? That we should get wedding announcements (which we had planned to do) and send them out BEFORE the wedding, so "maybe people who weren't invited can still make it." Hello? We can't afford them to be there-that's why they weren't invited! I have a sneaking suspicion that he shows up with some of his siblings.
And FBIL...Ugh! Stereotypical philosophy major. Knows NOTHING about the "real world". He sits around all day quoting textbooks and talking about mathematical equations that the atmosphere is spherical. WTF? He goes out of his way to make off-hand remarks about me, and to make me feel stupid.
And don't even get me started on the "Worst Man".
Carrie, I'm sorry to hear what's going on. You two just can't catch a break with his family. Have you considered calling social services, or Salvation Army and setting the uncle up with a caseworker? They could help him locate a job and a place to live. You two shouldn't be stuck with him.
And as far as FFIL and FBIL-what pigs. I'm sending good thoughts your way, and BAD, BAD thoughts their way!
