The Fish 9087 Posted July 1, 2009 Author Share Posted July 1, 2009 I have, many many times mate. Both sisters "comfort eat", which would be manageable if they didn't also "boredom eat", "celebrate eat" "comiserate eat" etc etc. I've tried to get them into exercise, tried to get them trying new healthier foods, tried to get them just to cutdown on their intake, but to no avail. My eldest sister desperately wants children but she is too large to conceive , it sounds awful but I had hoped than this would bring to light the state of play. But despite being devestated she hasn't done anything to radically change her lifestyle. Instead of thinking, "right, I'm not letting a manageable thing like wieght stand between me and my dream", she's thinking "Well, it's too hard, so what's the point" Also, she's recently been told that she's not going to be eligible to adopt until she improves her health. Like I've said, I might not get on with her, but I still want her to be happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Start with complimenting them about something, make them feel good about themselves, then say but you're a fat cunt and you need to do a b and c to rectify it. It's all about charm, if you've got none, you're fucked, and that's why your relationship with the sisters is fucked too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevie I have tried complimenting them you spaz, I'm not suddenly coming to this realisation now. And to get remarks about charm from someone who acts like you do is actually a compliment. p.s. is "boring c*nt" your only insult? It's pretty boring, and pretty c*ntish to use the same insult every occasion don't you think? p.p.s. is the reason you're having a nice little dig becuase you're a porker yourself? Fatties doing it for themselves? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toonraider 0 Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 I can see where Mr Fish is coming from, I'd be abit upset if my bruv or sis did the same for my birthday. Its not the amount of money as I'd be happy with something for a fiver, but there's no thought gone into it, its so impersonal. When I choose a pressie for my brother, sister or anyone I really put some thought into it. I am already planning their Xmas pressies! I love giving gifts but even if its just a small pressie for a work mate I try and find out what they actually like. spoken like a true lady You can buy me anything you like for Xmas I'll put you on my list sweetie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Face 29 Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 As an aside, I would never expect any of my relatives to be aware that I want (for example) the new Dan Deacon LP. I find emailing my family my Amazon wishlist a good deterrant for those annoying cash/voucher gifts which I can't stand either (and even worse, a gift of something they think I might like....but invariably own already or ignored as it's not really up to scratch). ..and it's even less effort than going to Asdas for her. Makey sure your wishlist has a range of prizes from £5 to £500 like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like when no-one else fancied going to see Joanna Newsom so I gave my mam one of the pair of tickets I'd bought for christmas. She'd never even heard of her.

Do you pretend to be surprised when you unwrap your present? I don't really see much difference between that and getting a voucher tbh. I'd rather just get a card tbh.

trophyshy 6441 Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Just give me the money, I will buy it myself. A small thoughtful gift however is a nice touch. Like a nice single malt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What did you get them for their birthday? I got the ASDA Voucher Sister a couple of Fantasy novels from a series that's she's in to and an Arts and crafts set. The latter because she's a Brownie leader and does a lot of that stuff. the other sister I got her a signed program from the stars of Billy Elliot stage show and a couple of odds and sods. Why?

I agree it's similar to a voucher....but at least you get to unwrap a gift on your birthday rather than ordering shopping for something yourself 2 weeks later. The danger is when people think like you, and rather than ordering from the wishlist, go off on a tangent and use the Amazon recommendations as a kind of thoughtful surprise. HEY McFLY!!

Norbert Colon 0 Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Not sure what all the fuss is about - i have never sent my brother or sisters a birthday or christmas card for 20 years and any time i see my brother it turns into a who can punch the other harder competition - i would consider you to be lucky you have a relationship with your siblings - many don't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you've told them before you don't really like vouchers I just wondered if they'd been similarly disgusted in the past and were getting you back. I was expecting you to say you got the fatty a diet book or summat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 9087 Posted July 1, 2009 Author Share Posted July 1, 2009 This is the needle point for me. I can vividly recall having a conversation over dinner with the whole family there and my ranting on about how thoughtless buying vouchers are. If you're unclear as to what the person would like, go shopping with them, or give them the cash with a caveat that they "buy themselves something nice" or something. (I have, in the past, bought one of them "Think yourself thin" by Ian McKenna, but I was trying to be nice. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
