Family - What do I do?

Then I'd get the space all cleaned up, and never have to worry about their stuff irritating me again. Just not worth the continuing hassles and well worth it for a few hours of unappreciated work.

Ha, sorry, got busy and forgot about this. But I'm back to troll apparently .

Anyway this is what we are currently doing. After the stuff sitting there forever, I've packed it up as is (e.g random piece of their scrap paper - it goes nicely in the box or bag with everything else) and are now delivering bags/boxes of it when we are scheduled to see them for whatever reason. I've dropped off about half of their stuff so far.

They weren't going to do it themselves obviously/apparently, so I just decided to do it myself.

While some in this thread thought I was giving myself ulcers, I was just generally disappointed in how things were. In short: I feel treated like a hotel, not as family. And for me that's quite disappointing, but to keep the peace on my wife's side I am just biting my tongue.

So I got half a truckload of marshmallows for nothing?


Disappointed.

I like that you're clearly the bigger person and have made the decision you've made, but holy hell does your situation make me mad. How can people be such users like this!?! Of family! And to JOKE about it!?

Maybe I'm the horrible bitch, but I'm not putting up with this kind of crap from anyone anymore, and thus I no longer speak with my family, and haven't for over two years. It has been the most peaceful two years of my life.....

Given no answer now, I'm upping that to 98%.

(this should likely trigger a response from OP)

Maybe they made sure he would never complain again...
