My brother-in-law, "The Complete Jerk", that can't handle the truth!

Tweet

I don't know what to say about my brother-in-law at all. He is nothing like how he used to be with me. (Which was very nice) He is more ruder by his actions, and tone of voice. I had to tell him about himself a couple of weeks ago. It was in relation to my youngest daughter. He responds back to her in a very nasty way when she is touching something of his, or doing something. My daughter is four years old. I always believe that if a child is doing something wrong, there is a respectful way that you can talk to them, without being nasty. Especially, when the child that you are talking to is NOT your own child. So from my surprised approach to him directly, he has been acting like a complete and silly jerk! I will give you several examples so that you can see where I am coming from. Okay, I always clean behind myself and my kids whenever I or them, makes a mess onto the kitchen table or on the floor. I make sure that everything is wiped up clean too. Well, my brother-in-law comes behind me and does a thorough cleaning in the same spot that I have just fully cleaned. There is nothing onto the table or the floor at all that needs to be cleaned at all. He also has a tendency to sweep up in just one spot, that I or my child have been at. Yet again, there is nothing on the floor that needs to be swept up by the broom. I have already cleaned up any crumbs that was onto the floor. What I don't quite get is my brother-in-law is always in his bedroom with the door half way shut. Plus he may be talking on his cell phone too, so is he watching everything that I am doing that much??? Just the other day, my mother-in-law and I was talking in the kitchen, while my brother-in-law, was into his bedroom with his sister and her boyfriend. My mother-in-law and I was standing up talking during the entire conversation. Can you believe that after my sister-in-law and her family left, he swept up only the area that my mother-in-law, his mother, and I were standing in! He did not even sweep the entire kitchen floor, just the area that we were standing in while we were talking. He told me once, that he is neat freak. Well, I sure can't tell! I told my husband, his brother about what he has said, and my husband says that he has never been neat. Yeah, that is what I have thought too! I really believe that my brother-in-law is trying to annoy me so much. He is doing all of this on purpose because he wants me to feel bad somehow, about whatever crazy scheme he is trying to implement. Every time, he comes out of his bedroom, he will start cleaning up in the same spot that me or my daughter was sitting at. He never cleans the entire area, just only the area that we have used, although there are no crumbs or spills that need to be cleaned up, because I have already taken care of it. Or if there is anything that is messy, he knows that I will make sure that I take care of any mess that me or my children may make while we have eaten. My mother-in-law told me that he said that he is ready for everyone to hurry up and move from the trailer. This trailer will be rented out by him, once my mother and father-in-law moves this month. My brother-in-law is acting this way, because once he found out that he is going to be renting the trailer out in his name, means that he now has full control over how he can treat us while we are staying here. I know why he is doing all of this, only because I was upfront with him, about what I am not going to tolerate him doing towards my children. He became offended because I stood up to him and now the childish actions that he is acting out, is all because of his manly ego being so very affected. He has said, that he has been nothing but nice. Well to prove that, I gave him back the body perfume oil and the Theraflu packet that he gave to me. I know why, he gave it to me, just to take credit for doing something supposedly nice for me. Well, I would rather take something from someone that is meant to be taken from the heart, than just to gain popularity. My brother-in-law has been trying to impress me since the day that I have married his brother, and with how his actions is behaving, I am not the very least impressed by him at all. In fact, I am very annoyed with his behavior.
