172-125 Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 I need a quick rant before I go to bed. I am fed up (would like to use a stronger word but won't) of hubbys family members copying what we do and buy. We buy a new car - they do. We buy a 3 storey house - they buy one. We have a particular colour sofa & living room decor - they have the same colour scheme. We buy a 6 seater dining table - they buy an 8 seater even though there is only 2 of them. They hated dishwashers but when we had 1 fitted in - they had 1 fitted in too. We have a toy dog - they get a toy dog. We say were going to buy another toy dog after xmas - they buy 1 now. This is just a few things, it's got to stage were I won't even talk to them about anything that we are going to do & I've told my hubby not to say anything to them either. In fact I'm not bothered if they don't come to our home again. Does anyone else have this kind of thing happen to them or is it just me who have annoying family members Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xfox3x Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Truthfully? I wouldn't even bother to work up the energy to get annoyed about it. Does it matter? I've often been inspired by what someone else has and decided to get one the same or similar. I once bought some beautiful lampshades. when my neighbour saw them she went and bought the exact same. Did it bother me? Not a jot. In fact I was quite chuffed that she liked my style so much tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
