This weekend we are going to my BIL's house for the weekend. I wanna go at the same time I kinda don't want to go. My jatani elder BIL's wife, is really a nice person. Can be really helpful at times. Then can be totally distant, I can't tell if its a inferiority complex or just plain jealousy. She was brought up in India stop right there that alone can bring a complex refer to The kids are driving me crazy!! post Anyway what I'm try to say is she has two faces, one where she show sympathy and is caring, then one where she is just all about herself. She truly a nice person.

okay I originally started this post on thursday or something now it's wednesday and we went and are back. Let me just tell you how pissed off I was. There is a limit to the certain things. The whole freakin weekend BIL's wife was on the phone the whole time, talking to her mom. Like I totallly understand you have every right to talk to your mom, but you see she's got this vonage thingy where she can talk to her parents( who are in India) anytime you want for free. She talks to them everyday once in the morning and once in the night for maybe an hour or so. So you think she would lay off a bit on the phone calls over the weekend since we are there, But it was like any free time she is chatting away. I felt like so ignored they were not talking anything of importance, that's what bothered me the most. She was like yeah I am cooking this today, what did you make? Blah blah blah. After she finished cooking she sat on the sofa and picked up the phone started again. Rather than talking to me, who was sitting right next to her she's on the phone. Sunday was when I got really pissed off, we were all getting ready to go to the mall and so my husband says he needed to use the bathroom, so we are waiting, his brother is on the computer and I was in the living room feeding the baby and looking through the sunday sales paper that comes with the morning paper. So she comes in and takes a hand full of sales paper and heads to her room. Then she comes out and talkng on the phone to her mom and heads to the family room to chat some more. I thought she would sit and talk with me since we won't be seeing each other for a couple months. Coz my husband will be out of town. That's the real reason why I was getting more upset. I don't get it I talk to my mom everyday too, but not when my husband is home or some one is over. I think it's just rude. She makes a big deal as if she slaved over a hot stove or something. Most of the stuff was premade or defrosted and for indian standards that is not exceptable, especially in my husbands family everything should be made fresh (my BIL has no clue that she defrosted food or else he would have a fit). Maybe the salan was fresh and how long is that gonna take! Any way I just felt like we were unwelcomed by her.

only today my sis was saying 'umar badh jati hai, par bahu/nanand/saas/bhabhi/devrani-jethani ke shikayat khatam nahin hote hain.(assuming you know hindi).
So sorry that you had this experience. There is nothing worse than being in a persons home, with no escape, feeling unwelcomed.
You should of kindly said something to her.
