My weekend started off good went and meet my husband after work so we could go out to dinner with the kids. Went and got a few things from Wal-mart and then to my brothers to take a few things I had for him. Just hung around the house Friday night. Saturday morning my husband woke me up and said that his sister called and want to know if we wanted to go to bed bath and beyond and to the mall. I said I guess since we had nothing else planned. We got all 3 kids ready and gave them something to eat and out the door we went. We drove around all darn day in the heat and went to a few stores so she could look at some stuff for her wedding that is coming up in sept. 6 Hours later we where on the way home and I thought she would have afford some gas money for us taking are vehicle and drive every where. Well she didn't and then we got to there house and was asking what they where doing and if they wanted to play rock band. No I have to study and you guys can't play. Even though her boyfriend talk to a friend about an hour before that and they where talking about going out. So we just went home since it seemed like she was being crapping and we just blow it off. Then this afternoon while I was gone doing some earns she called and said he needed to bring her darn(she said the other "D" word) car ramps over because justin needed them. I told her that I was busy and had stuff to do since I didn't have a chance yesterday to do them. Then she precede to tell me I was going to bring them over and told me to tell her brother that He is going to bring them to the house because Justin needed them. I was so pissed because she could have asked us instead of telling us to bring the ramps over. So I went inside and told my husband what she had said and told him I wasn't drive to her house and dropping anything off to her because she was rude and he agreed if she wants the ramps she can come get them or ask us nicely if we can bring them out to her. Was I rude for not taking the ramps to her house? They are theres and we did borrow them. What do you think?

You sister-in-law didn't need to order you around. She could have asked in a nice way. Personally, I would have taken the ramps to her house, dropped them off but made her come to the car and get them. I wouldn't have bothered to go inside. I wouldn't want to handle the phone calls about the ramps. I'd be just as happy to get them out of the house and back where they belong. But remember this incident if she borrows something from you. I don't like conflict but really don't like nagging or whining. I would have been to her house within minutes. Am not saying my way is right but this is the way I handle situations of this nature. I think you should do whatever is comfortable for you and your husband.
