My family has a very old family bible, with the names of all my mothers family, dates of birth and death written in it. The oldest entry is dated 1807. This bible is in my posession, and it will eventually be given to my eldest son. It is a very precious family artifact and has been handed down to the eldest son/grandchild in each generation. I am the eldest grandchild in my generation.
My youngest uncle's wife, and her daughter, my cousin, for some unknown reason do not speak to me, ever. I have no idea what I have done to offend them, but it started with the mother when I had my DS2 - she just stopped speaking to me. This was over 19 years ago.
I never got to the bottom of it, and to be honest don't care. The cousin has told my other aunt that it is because of something I said to her - but I have no idea what I am supposed to have said and she declines to enlighten me. No other family members can recall anything that I might have said either. She does not speak to me to the extent that when greeted at family events, she will turn her back to me rather than acknowledge a "Hello".
She does have form for this, and has not spoken to her own sister for over 20 years.
Anyway, the cousin has asked my eldest son if she can take the family bible as she is doing some sort of family research. My son then asked me.
I have decided, after speaking to other family members, no, she can't take the bible, as I don't think that it will come back, (There is a history of things being taken and not returned) but that I will scan the relevant pages for her.
So, AIBU to think that if she wants me to scan the pages, she can ask me herself or am I being a petty cow?
