I had this conversation with my cousin and I felt like she got really offended when I said that her sister looked like her aunt. My cousin is over 50 years old and she is behaving like a child. Why would she get so offended when I made this comment about her own sister. I was not trying to hurt her on purpose or anything.
Me:I like Debbie's 80's swag. Barb, you got to admit that she looks like her aunt Lucille in this picture..

I felt like she did not have to bring anything to my attention at all. Even if I knew that that was her sister in the picture, that does not mean that I would still agree with her. I have my own opinion. It would be so useless for her to just sit and fight about my own personal opinion.

Hello dear cream.
After reading the discussion, twice, i concluded that i haven't understand a thing :) What i mean is that she doesn't bring anything into the discussion, and she just seams determined to have her say without any care for what you have to say.

Hi. elitess. I feel the same way too. That is why I did not back down when I gave her my opinion back. I said what I had to say too. I stood firmly on my opinion just as she did too. The only difference with me and her is that I did it in a ladylike kind of way. While sh was trying to attack me back in a childish kind of way.

Hi Cream97,
I believe everyone will have their sensitive spot or issue that they will jump up immediate when it is trigger. Your cousin probably are sensitive on the issue when someone comment about her own sister. In her past, there might be someone told her that her sister don't look like her and that have create a dark shadow in her mind. And once it is trigger, she get upset and that is why she acted childish. Everything that happen in this world have the cause and reason. So, I believe there must be a reason behind that.

Maybe it's just a misunderstanding? Ah, just shake it off?
Everyone has the right to their own opinions but blood is thicker than water right?
I bet by the next day both of you would be so busy with your lives you guys won't remember a thing about it?

Hi. zweeb82. I have, but she hasn't. Yesterday she tried to upset me by making a comment to my sister. She knew that I was going to see it, so she tried to make me angry. That was her snobbish way of making herself feel better about the comment that I unintentionally made about her sister looking like their auntie.

Oh well, be the better man, in this case woman, haha!~
Just walk away from such minute & petty issues, not worth your time getting upset with. We'll find that at the end of the day such trivial matters are not worth our time, no point entertaining them

Well, it didn't affend you did it? It is fine that you have your own opinion but, ofcourse, so does your cousin. You don't believe the cousin is out to get ya do you? You have rights, both of you! Debbie's swag? Interesting. What a thing to start some bad feelings over. You girls. Sometimes.

Hi. celticeagle. I made a comment, but I forgot that Debbie was her sister. She got offended, for whatever reason. The way she came back at me was ignorant. She is too old to be getting offended when someone makes a comment. If she had to have done me this way, I would probably have to take it and deal with her comment the best way that I can. The way she came back at me is not how a cousin should have. I am a very nice person and she knows that. I have never disrespected her at all before. I am not trying to do so now. I guess with her, I will just have to keep my feelings to myself when I am around her. I could tell that it bothered her. She got offended too quickly.

Maybe she had something else on her mind and that was just the last straw. You never know what goes through peoples minds. I wish I had a way of knowing sometimes.

Hiya cream,
Between my Nieces I have seen this kind of thing go on where one makes an innocent remark and the other decides she is going to throw a fit about that remark well probably because she is in that kind of mood and that´s it.
I never take any notice of them now and let them get on with it.
They should grow up a bit.
One of my Son´s Girlfriends did make a rather snide remark about my Mom in a Picture of her. I said she looks much better here and she pulled a face and I let it go. I did not like the remark very much but I let it go. I do not know the Girl really and thought well I hope you don´t go into everyone else´s House and say those kind of things all the time.
Again I let it pass it was just not worth it saying anything to her.

She might have seen and taken it from a different angle of perspective. Understanding answers it. I hope she behaves like a child and child-like; not behaving like a child and childish. That would be too awful.

cream 97 dear don't be offended but you both amuse me, and nobody
likes to think he or she is ugly so I would be a little more sensitive
I mean if you can see she is not as pretty as her sister think of her feelings as nobody likes being compared to someone much prettier so let her think her sister favors her more, whats the harm? You may be prettier then she so don't let petty things like that get in the way of relationships. no of course you do not have to agree with her but believe you me a person who is not very pretty also knows that and can be quite sensitive about it. It would not have hurt you to just say oh yes there is some resemblance to you.cream people who are really pretty seldom realize that the person probably a relative that all the
family sees as sort of homily does have feelings and a mirror. put yourself in her shoes, how would you you feel if you knew most all the family sees you as sort of plain and not as pretty as your sister you would be more sensitive about your looks then the s super pretty ones of a famiy. It never hurts to stifle your own opinion if it is gong to hurt someone you really care about. pretty women are sometimes not very sensitive tot the feelings of plain women.. Please do not be offened, it just my own opinion. u
