Okay, I'm just peeved.
Went out to see nephew graduate. Another relative by marriage (married to my SIL) was there as well.
He's not a terrible person, but just annoying as hell. He thinks he's the font of all knowledge. So we heard lectures on how HE cooks hard boiled eggs (of all things!) after I mentioned to my SIL (nephew's mom) that I use a dash and go. I was also told that the only time to get an instant pot was Black Friday when they're on sale (Bull Shit). Mind you, this was the guy who insisted (with his wife) that Black Friday was just a commercial gimmick and exploited workers, so they would NEVER shop then - HA!
But what got me was the condensing attitude towards his wife. Mind you, she too can be a pain, but she's not stupid at all. Here he is in front of her talking about how much he has to work 'to get vegetables into her' and shit like that. WTF? If my spouse dared to do that, he'd be getting a can of whoop-ass opened on him right then and there.
But the last and truly annoying thing is how he feels like he's some sort of expert on their family. Yes, he was involved in taking care of my MIL in her final years, but he pretty much met her when she was in decline. And he never met my FIL at all, since he passed at least a decade before he met and married my SIL. Yet, he feels free to tell his BILs that they're acting just like their dad - HOW WOULD HE KNOW???
Between that and his wife insisting that she show us her scar from her recent knee replacement, I was totally ready to start slapping heads. Glad I'm back home!
