Just lighthearted venting.
Who wants to hear about my CF SIL?? 
DH comes from a large (7 child) family with very humble beginnings and has, in their view, "made it" in that he is very successful in his career, working overseas and earning bucketloads. He's very generous with his family and spends on other people nearly as quickly as he earns (but that's a whole other thread)
In the past SIL has shown her grabby side by, for example, spending £800 on make up when DH gave her his card to treat herself on (his words) "some perfume or nice make up or something" after she babysat for one night when she was over visiting for a couple of weeks.
Yes, he's a fool for giving over his card like that (again, that's the other thread)
DH uses a concierge service for travelling etc and she knows this and always asks him to book her train tickets, flights, cars (chauffeured, naturally) because she knows the soft touch will always say yes and she'll never have to pay.
DH got an unexpected bonus with work at the end of last year and shared half of it among his siblings - around £12000 each. With this money she has spent most of it on a certain baby clothes designer for her kids. She has decided she's going to set up an Instagram and get them Instagram famous and modelling for said brand....
In order to do this she said she needs a good computer so could she have our iMac that we don't use. This isn't a problem as we really don't use it so the plan was to fedex it to her as we only see them a couple of times a year as she lives overseas. We don't have the original packaging so I've been all over eBay trying to get it and had a couple of hiccups in that one box got lost in the post, one arrived and it wasn't the right size, you get the picture. I also took it to Apple for her to get it wiped clean and updated (software). In fairness, it's been about a month.
Well when DH went to visit her a fortnight ago she moaned that she still hadn't received it. So he (he only just told me this, mind) like a fucking donut gave her money to buy a new bloody iPad to tide her over
he also must've told her I've been getting wrong boxes delivered as I've just received a message from her saying
"So it's your fault that the computer hasn't arrived yet"
I said
"No. Blah blah boxes blah blah"
She said
"Since all this time it's still not here"
Dear readers, I'm tempted to wrap it in brown paper and throw it in the nearest postbox. Let her put it together again like a modern day technological humpty fucking dumpty.
I'm glad I've got that all out.
Anyone else have a IL as CF as this !?
Must admit though, pretty sure I also have a spineless, soft touch DH problem
