That would require logic, thought and reasoning skills. Apparently abi hogged all those traits and didn't leave any for mom and sis.
Bad, evil abi!
My friend Jo has this issue. He and her hubby make around 25k/year. Her brother who makes more on disability than she makes thinks she is rich and is resentful of her. The truth is she doesn't blow her money. Her and her hubby save. Her mom and brother expect her to pay for stuff she has no responsibility to and think she is "hiding her riches".
It is so sad.

i get this all the time, Abi, and i dont understand it either. i think we'd all just love it if our family were happy for us, but it sometimes doesnt happen.
last week a family member showed up, unannounced, and wanted to stay over and for me to make them a pie.
me (sick for the last 3 weeks): Huh?
that person: yeah and we arent staying, we are coming late and leaving early and we want snacks, including the pie
me: seriously? with 6 hrs notice? and you arent even coming to see ME, you just want a free place to stay?
that person: yeah, i mean your life is easy and what else do you have to do?
*the next morning, no pie, sitting on the deck, twitch in my eye b/c of everything i have to do instead of sitting on the deck, still sick*
that person: so, this is what you do all day? sit out here and watch the chickens?
me: for heavens sakes
it went on and on..... and then that person talked all about how they could never do this b/c farming is so dirty and gross.
sheesh.

I think we all have some relation like this, and like OFG said, they just think we do nothing all day. It is quite baffling, how people can possibly so narrow minded, so selfish, and so judgemental that they can's see their own issues. *sigh*
I say we all meet up at OFG's place and eat pie, I mean, she's got nothing better to do, right?

My siblings are the same way, they think if you don't sit on your butt all day behind a computer as a job, then you do nothing all that. What's with that???? My sister is slowly coming along now that she's canned and gardened herself a bit, but the rest? Ugh.
OFG, make me a strawberry rhubarb pie while yer at it, ok deary?

Lori i totally laughed out loud about your "frikkin pie".. oh at least i can laugh about it now.
gottcha Bb, one straw-rhubarb... PG - what kind do you want?
taking all pie orders! get your pie orders in! nothin' else going on here! pie for all my friends! be sure to just randomly show up with no warning and start making your demands. and dont ever show up just to see me but only when you want something.
then tell me how dirty and gross my life is.
whoot!
