Is it not normal to be upset when some one does what ever the h*ll they want without consideration of you or others you care about? They take and are unwilling to give? If these people are outside your family - you don't deal with them. However, within a family you don't have a choice. You see them getting your mom upset, take advantage of her, etc.
No you cannot change some one, but you can let them know when they are being an inconsiderate a$$hole. Nicely of course. And you can rant and rave on here to release some stress - like I did.
And thank you very much for your continued support.
I am bit late to this, but if it is any consolation, Linkat, I do understand your situation, especially since I have a brother and sister-in-law who take the same approach of one who doesn't want to be bothered and the other who is doing as she pleases, while my mother is in the middle trying
to accommodate everyone. True, one cannot change their behavior, but I changed mine, and eventually they took notice and we arrived at a
cease-fire situation I can live with.
