Ol' McBratFace Had a Farm...

caninelover's picture

So I guess Mermaiding didn't last long, because I overheard Bratty in the week after our reception saying she was volunteering at a community farm.

Volunteering meaning no income.  I really think she's conned Nutter into supporting her while she 'takes a break from med school prep'.  Well, whatever.  Happy farming, Bratty.

I did have a little fun at Bratty's expense at our reception.  When she whined that no one was introducing her, I took her and Nutter around to meet my family.  I introduced my nephew - 3 years younger than Bratty, just graduated from a prestigious undergrad school with a pre-med track, took the MCATs and is now applying to many major med schools.  He is wonderful young man, smart and personable and will make an amazing physician.  So I introduced him to Bratty and said, oh he is applying to med schools just like you.  The look of terror that came over Bratty's face in that moment was really priceless LOL - she clearly did NOT want to discuss med school applications at all - because she is goofing around with mermaids and farmers while others are actually working towards their goals.

On another occasion, Bratty asked DH - so has anyone asked about your other kids?  I blogged previously about Bratty's obnoxious email where she forbid anyone from asking her about her siblings.  DH was like, not really other than asking where they are.  Bratty seemed disappointed - she wanted people to bring them up for some reason.  I think she's really a busybody at heart.

One of the most entertaining conversations though was between Bratty, Nutter and Grandma McBratFace.  Grandma has a set of silver placesettings that she has been trying to give away (at 89 she doesn't entertain anymore).  She offered it to us twice but we didn't want it - don't like polishing silver and I didn't care for the look of it anyway - very plain.  Also, when we entertain we do so casually - just our regular plates and stainless steel utensils, nothing 'fancy' in terms of place settings.  

Bratty though wanted to see the silverware and she and Nutter both said they would like it.  Grandma was like ok, but how many people live in your house?  Bratty said 13.  Grandma said well there is silverware for 8 settings so that wouldn't be enough.  Bratty said oh, it would be only for special occasions.  Grandma said oh do you like to host?  Bratty said oh yes but she meant really special occasions, you know, like Thanksgiving - she could bring them to her Aunt's house and set her table with it.  Um ok good luck with that.  Not sure Aunt will appreciate that but whatever again.  Then the topic turned to food and Bratty and Nutter said they loved sushi.  Bratty's Aunt had walked into room and immediately said 'Bratty, sushi is not vegan'.   I am trying not to burst out in laughter.  Bratty says oh we only eat vegan sushi.  Good for you Bratty.

Other than that, no major drama from the time spent with her.  I am starting to realize that the disengagement has really helped me - I know longer care about her life or drama since I know it doesn't impact me.  Great progress for me in the last 2 years!!

You're doing well!  My guess is Bratty wants the silverware "just because".  She doesn't host, we know that.  But whatever.  Or maybe she wants it so the other kids dont get it.  In any case, Grandma can unload it and we grandmas love the fantasy of our kids or gkids actually wanting our stuff.  Lol.

So yep - she wants it just to have it - I don't really see her using it much if at all.  But Grandma got rid of it so that was a win.  I just found it funny that Bratty invited herself to her Aunt's house and wants to bring her own silverware for the table.

It was just a spur of the moment response to pacify Grandma.  In any event, a win/win for both.  Best of all, one less thing for the family to cope with when Grandma passes.

And it may come to that, especially since I don't think they'll really use it much!

I will say Bratty does provide some much needed comic relief, and not being engaged means you can just laugh and not have to worry about it.

I will say I am bummed she dropped out of mermaid school, I was hoping for some epic adventures pertaining to her lack of being able to hold her breath long enough, her tail falling off mid twirl, her hair getting tangle in a kelp bed…etc.

I literally check everyday for any Bratty mermaid updates! Bummer she no longer swims in the deep blue sea LOL

Mrs Canine the disengagement and entertainment value is a win win for you.

I used to feel anxiety, resentment, etc just at the thought of being around Bratty - mostly stemming from the lack of control I felt.  Now that I am disengaged and have my boundaries in place I feel like I have the control back.  Now its a combination of pity and sometimes amusement to be around Bratty LOL.

I was giggling the whole time reading your post and the comments.  LOL!  Mermaiding and now volunteering on a farm.  Holy.  Balls.  Don't know if Bratty will ever get it together, but she can provide some great comic relief in the meantime!  Smile

Oh, to be a fly on the wall with the MCAT discussion! And the vegan sushi. LMAO

With that said, I'm just so happy your wedding and reception went well with no drama from Bratty.

Thanks, and maybe the next family gathering I run into Bratty I'll be sure to give her an update on my nephew's progress, he he he

caninelover's picture

But probably Bratty realized she would have to deal with kids!!

You have to keep her updated on your nephew's progress !   Hahaha. That was a Brilliant  move on your part!  I would have done the same thing in you shoes.  (Smirk).  I might even mess with her a bit more, just for fun when she acts up, and tell her that nephew wants to stay in touch , you know for networking purposes as  future doctors.    I feel sorry for Nutter though. I hope she doesn't lose too much money being hooked up with Bratty.  That stupid tax penalty can really be pricey.

I plan to - but I also plan to not seek out her company much.  May be awhile before our paths cross again and that is a good thing as far as I'm concerned!

I am sure the farm is an organic farm, so someone needs to hand Bratty a shovel to spread that natural organic fertilizer, because she is so full of shit, just like the fertlizer. *diablo*

Sounds like they have her pulling weeds.  Probably all she's capable of.

She'll want to freeload veggies and flowers to show off to her roommates...

If there will be a custody battle over the silverware between NGF and BMB.

I wondered what would happen if they split.  Probably sold and melted for its silver content.

Bratty on a farm.. LOLLL. Probably 4 hours a week. Loved the convo with your nephew... it's always a little fun putting someone like bratty on the spot. Nice little reality checks. 

Bratty stories are always my fav haha.

It was a little bit mean of me but I just couldn't resist.  It is nice to see these coddled entitled narcs squirm a little!

"she was volunteering at a community farm"

I'd love to know what exactly she does on that farm. Does she know that just turning up is not considered "volunteering", nor is sitting around telling people what to do and how.

And posting pics of herself on FB.  That seems to be her job there!
