I have a husband. And my husband has two brothers and a sister. I want to tell you about my husband’s younger sister, Laura. Laura is now 40 years old. She has no children. She’s been married twice before, but divorced twice. Now she’s just living with her roommate in the country.
She’s a real pain in the ass for my husband. She just uses him as a laborer and constantly complains to him about her hard life. My husband is very fed up with it, and he stopped going to his sister’s house. But Laura is constantly calling him to her: either to help her move from the city to the countryside, or to sympathize, or to have a serious talk with her husbands.
Then her sister started throwing tantrums about divorces. Then she started going on binges. And it was always my husband who had to help her. Of course, he got very tired of it. And one time Laura even called Philip and said she was going to be fired from her job because the boss was very bad.
– Please, little brother, come and help me! Deal with him!
Philip refused to do that. And Laura started insulting him. A week ago Laura called me and said:
– Tell Philip to come over and put up my fence this weekend. There’s nothing for him to do in the city this weekend anyway!
– Why can’t your husband put up a fence? Why does Filip have to come?
– My husband’s back hurts! He can’t! He’s not allowed to lift heavy things!
– And you think that Filip is perfectly healthy and only yours is sick! You want my fifty-year-old husband to put up your fence, and your roommate will be lying on the couch at the same time! No! My husband is not going anywhere! You take care of your own fence!
Laura started yelling at me.
– A brother should always help his sister! Big brothers live far away! And you live only five hours away by car! – She yelled at me.
And I told her that no one owes anyone anything.
– We’re all adults and we have to solve all problems ourselves! Not wait for someone to come from the city and do your job for you!
My husband’s sister took offense at me and hung up on me…
