To wish my sister would just fuck off telling me how much her DH earns?

[WilburIsSomePig]

I don't need or want to know. BIL has own business, going really well (glad for him, he's a really nice fella and works hard). My sister has just called me to tell me that he's had to get a new contract as the other had come to an end but 'unfortunately he's had to take a reduced rate, this is only £350 a day rather than £400 but we'll just need to manage'. I wish she would just stop, she knows we are struggling and it just feels like gloating. I told her I'm happy for him but I don't need to know so now I'm a 'jealous cow' apparently. Maybe I am but she knows that DH was made redundant and has just found another job so I think she's being an inconsiderate cow.

I think your sis is being a cow Wilbur

My granddad used to ask me loudly at family gatherings how much my bonus was that year. He was just pleased for me I think, but OMG it was cringe-worthy.

Stealth she doesn't want to work and they are both fine with that so fair enough really.

DH and I were devastated when he lost his job and it was a really tough few months for us so I admit that I am a bit stressy about money right now.

All those who don't like to disclose earnings - spare a thought for public sector staff. I used to be coy about such things but now consider it normal.

Wilbur next time she mentions it just say "so how much did you earn this month sis ive heard about .....s wage what about you" soon shut her up and make her realise she's riding his coatails and its not actually her money

while i find it pathetic to brag about how much you earn, i find it even more pathetic to brag about how much your oh earns.

She can't be that insensitive so I can only assume she's deliberately rubbing it in your face. What a cow. If you're genuinely worried about having an income of "only" £350 a day then find someone better off to moan to.

She is being vulgar and boastful. She should be offering to help you out when times are hard if they are so well off.
My stepdad earns a lot of money and only us three children know how much but we are only told this so we know not to worry when they try and help us financially. It is not mentioned to anyone outside the immediate family and as my mam says what's the point in having money if you can't help those you care about.
I would be offering to help my sibling if I was well off.

Now you've explained a bit more YANBU-if she joked about a few less manicures then clearly the pay drop isn't going to break the bank. What a shame she can't be more understanding of you and offer some support instead of bragging.

She is being an utter bitch. I'd quietly drop off contacting her, and if she rang me I'd be just going out, too busy to talk etc etc
