Hi readers,
It's been a small issue for the last 12 months I guess, that is, my brother Gordon has a girlfriend 'Michelle' who since originally meeting her has got extremely comfortable swearing around me and my family. On Nov the 18th they left college to live in a more conventional De Facto relationship down here on my parents farm, I had moved down in July to live at my parent house after having spent years in the City. They are living in our old little farm cottage, and because I already had furniture from my living away from home I was relatively content to help them out by lending them furniture at the start or until I may need it again.
The first week they moved in, no thanks for the use of furniture was given, they turned up to a meal at my parents house at least once a day for the last month. Each time - Michelle who I will call Shell to shorten, would wear a peak hat to cover her eyes to avoid eye contact at all the meals - which I considered was deliberate. Not only did she often ignore my presense, she openly degrades my job which is part time and my help on the farm. Shell started a new job as a Agricultural specialist, working full time, and she compares me to her all the time. "Why don't you get a real job and pass me the food!". She has criticized my already slender sister's waist which is only size 8-10 as being too pot like. Without consulting my brother, while he was away one weekend she bought firstly 2 pigs later buying within a few days 6 ducklings and 5 chickens with her...
