So yes I'm with my brother and his wife now and we're travelling and doing touristy stuff together. Should be fun, right? NOPE, WRONG. When I was younger I admired my brother greatly because he seemed so cool and seemed to know everything- yeah I wasn't the kind to fight with him over stuff since he pretty much gave me w/e I wanted. Now I realized that he's just overly non-confrontational and has many attributes of social awkwardness.
His wife I just outright dislike. I didn't like her back when they got married but I didn't stay for very long; being with them now I'm just like "how do you put up with this shit" to my brother. She has what we call "Princess Syndrome", where you expect everything to be nice and clean and life to be served on a platter. Then when things don't turn out to plan you blame someone and throw a tantrum. So far the victim's been my brother but yeah her general demeanor annoys me. Though I feel like my brother probs likes being walked all over because he handles it without any temper and just brushes everything off... For me it's borderline intolerable just to be near.
Anyway they're both out now, watching sunrise or something. His wife wanted to go out 8pm last night when it was like less than 5 degrees, so she could take selfies by the beach or something... Like, you can't see anything and it's cold af. So she went by herself after a small tantrum, then my brother was like "nope I'm not coming" but ran after her in 5min anyway because he was worried about her. I mean sure that's cute and all but if I had a gf who pulled that shit on me I'd dump her the next day... idk how he jumped to "man, let's get married".
Had to share a room with the last night too--- I mean I didn't think I'd mind since I have my own bed, but then they got up in the middle of the night and turned on the lights at 6 fucking AM, so I'm a little miserable right now. Oh another thing about the two of them- they seriously lack social etiquette. We went out for dinner with my parents and those two literally just sat there playing with their phones--- both of them, at the dinner table. Like idk about your family dynamic but that's sooooo fucking rude, especially when someone's trying to talk to you. Even with my friends- if they're trying to talk to me I wouldn't stare at my phone all day.
Since they arrived I've been with them, since neither of them speak English very well. It's a bit tragic that they decided to come to Australia as opposed to Singapore or something. Anyway my brother's been largely the same as before (except for the phone thing) but his wife seems to have boundless energy and insists on DOING something. Then when she drags both of us out she complains of being tired and w/e and I'm just like "FML". Aaaagh I really don't like her. I'd love to just leave her alone at a shopping mall, but she always tries to drag me around in her shopping adventures- one because my brother just stands outside the store looking at his phone (and I'm not rude enough to do that to a guest I'm accompanying) and two because she wants me to ask this and that of the store clerks, like, "do you have more stock in the back". I had to explain to her that this isn't China and they don't have stock at the back, everything on display is what you get, but she just doesn't seem to remember that fact and asks me to ask them every single time.
So she threw another tantrum last night because we wouldn't go out in the cold and dark with her, then a further tantrum because we don't really have a plan for touring the area. I was like "let's go to the shopping centre, this one's like the largest in Australia" and she was like "NO I DON'T WANNA GO SHOPPING, I'M DONE SHOPPING". Like if that's not Princess Syndrome then idk what is. She fucking spent 10am to 5pm in a single smallish shopping centre back at home, THEN SHE WANTED TO GO BACK TO THE SAME SHOPPING CENTRE THE NEXT DAY. Like hooooly shit kill me. I had to stay with her all this time, of course, but yeah this "being polite" thing is going to be the death of me.
I suggested going to a museum after and she was like, "what's there to see at a museum???" and like WTF IS THERE TO SEE ANYWHERE? WHY ARE YOU SO KEEN ON GOING TO THE BEACH AT 8PM IN WHOOP WHOOP WHEN YOU LITERALLY CAN'T SEE. Fuuuuck she is so anti-tourism it's not funny--- but she still wants to "do" things. I have this feeling that she doesn't actually wanna do anything for the sake of doing it, she just wants to be able to take photos, post it on her social media page and make her friends jealous. But like, YOU CAN FAKE THAT SHIT ANYWHERE. You can fucking take a photo at maccas and be like "#late night maccas because yolo" and someone would think you're cool.
In summary I'm pretty much done with her shit, but I've only been with them for like 3 days. At least now I'm in a diff city but yeah if I had to travel in the future I would rather travel with my friends than with relatives. These people all give me cancer. My brother was the only one in the family I could put up with anyway- too bad he married someone I just can't fucking stand.
