Sister in-law

Hmmm, family gatherings are tough isn't it? Especially if those gatherings were prepared for your brother's meeting with his future bride's family. It is troublesome to welcome someone who you are not familiar with in your family. Hey, that's why people created family gatherings so that we could meet and get to know each other. This is a chaotic process that I don't really personally like to be involve in that is if that particular person which in this case is my brother would be the one who should be busy since he's the one who will be meeting them whereas the rest of us will just be helping him a bit.

But what ticks me off is that, I don't really like this girl that my brother likes. Well, that's what we call the sister sensor. As a sister, I'ma picky on who my brother is going to marry or the girl who is his girlfriend as I don't want to have a monster sister in law. So, when this particular girlfriend of his comes home for a visit,  tend to not be with her that much and I observe her every action. That is sick, I know right. I do this because I want to see if she's worth it for my brother. I don't want her to pretend to be a good girl but then later on in life, my brother will be her slave. Incidents like this seldom happen but you never know when later on in marriage, your brother will be the house husband and your sister in law will become the working wife and leaves everything that has to with household to your brother. You don't want that to happen do you?

When your brother's girlfriend is the pretty girl, fashionable, rich, educated.. you have to be careful and see whether she is only perfect on the outside and knows how to be a future mother and wife. Is she knows at least how to cook and wash clothes, your brother is safe. It's not wrong to choose someone who does not know how to cook and later on she'll learn but it'll be better if she knows at least how to do those things. That way, your brother won't die of starvation and dirty clothes. Instead, your brother would have a happy life living with her.

What sicken me is that every time this girl pays a visit to our house, all she does is sit in front of the computer all day long and when she has a bit of time, she goes out. Never have I seen a situation where she would voluntarily help my mom in the kitchen to cook or at least help around the house. Yes, you all might think that; hey, she's the guest. Why would a guest be helping around the house when the people in house itself should do the help. I don't mind doing all the work but it would just make my day if she would ask, "Can I help you?" instead of sitting and not even offer to help and the rest would be history and make my day and my family's.

You know how girls are at being jealous with each other easily and that no one should be prettier than you. Well, I always felt this whenever she visits the house. I truly admit that she is beautiful in a way that she is stylish and fashionable. Plus, she's smart and that I'm not nearly as pretty as her. I envy her so much that when she stays a bit too long, I get irritated and not wanting to even acknowledge her when she talks to me. Yes, that is bad and awful of me to do so. I guess I offended her and my brother. I realized that if I keep doing this, my brother would be unhappy and that she would run away and not turn back. I tried my very best not to do this too often but it just ticks me off no matter what.

As a little sister, I guess I'm just afraid of losing my brother forever. Though sometimes we argue and not see eye to eye, but he's my brother and I will love him and not want to lose him no matter what happens. I bet he'll feel the same when I'm about to get married to someone someday and beat the hell out of the guy I'm about to marry. I have no doubt about it.
