    My BIL

    is still mad at his parents for doing what they thought best in raising him - he is the oldest and was sick a lot as a kid. As an adult he uses his kids to make my MIL feel guilty. He and I have agreed to disagree when I called him out for trying similar crap on my wife.

    My inlaws are supposed to go up to Minnesnowta in a few weeks. Today I guess he called 'cause he was upset they didn't call on Christmas day. What, like his fingers are broken and he can't work a phone? He implied they might be busy when my inlaws are supposed to come.

    Anyhoo, my wife, my MIL and my oldest were all already upset that we were going home. So after he got my MIL crying she called my wife, that set her off and that set my oldest off. The 10m old joined in too - women solidarity or something I guess. So now I've got three fussy women in the car. This went on for almost an hr through a few phone calls.

    Aside from just cause he already deserves it, he made me drive on an already long drive with 3 crying women. Anybody in the Cities up there want to punch him in the nose for me?

      I am sorry you have such a child as a BIL, the excuses only work until 18 (at the latest).
      After that he is an adult (?), and is totally responsible for his own actions. You can't play the victim card after that. If he wants to be miserable and act like a child, let him sit in a corner and pout. Please!! He needs to grow up!!

        Wish I were closer Davy but my short arms just can't reach that far. The guy sounds like a real jerk!

          I live in SW Minneapolis and would like to help you out.

          But I have to warn you that although I'm 6'3" and 200 lbs, I have a glass jaw and really poor health insurance.
          You might think I haven't contributed much to the world, but a large number
          of the warning labels on tools can be traced back to things I've done...

            That's ok - he is only 5'10" and about 180.

              Hey David,

              I always found that sending someone "Road Kill" wrapped up as a gift usually works.

                Crude but effective - gotta like that! No overt threats just good 'ole inuendo. You're a clever one, you are, Bruce!

                  I would think a call to the FBI hotline alerting them about a potential Al Qaeda agent in Minnesota who's been talking about taking flying lessons would be effective.

                  Do they let them make calls to family from Gitmo??

                    I don't live in MN anymore, but I know a guy who knows a guy...

                    Of course, he only works for tools. Are you thinking you want to just Lie Nelson him or give him the full cabinet saw treatment?
