the inlaws...

i grew up with 2 younger brothers. so having a sister in law is kinda weird. my youngest brother has a serious girlfriend of about 2 years. so when i moved home, i "inherited" two "sisters". luckily they're cool chicks. maybe not girls i would have necessarily chosen as friends of my own, but we get along really well for the most part. obviously the two of them get along better, since they've had time to gether without me, but i think part of what bonds us is that none of us grew up with sisters. but there are definitely times i feel possessive of my brothers because well, they're MY brothers. and before THEY came along, they were just mine. and i didn't have to share them with anyone else.

but like i said, they've been super great since i've moved since none of my high school friends are around anymore. they've become my friends and we can gab and gossip and do all the things girls do. EXCEPT. talk about sex.

ugh. gross!!

because when they talk about sex, they're talking about sex with my brothers.

GROSS!!!

GROSS!!!

GROSS!!! times infinity.

it seriously ruins my buzz everytime we're out having drinks and they bring it up.

Yuck. That would ruin my buzz as well!

My sister in law and I have never even come close to a conversation like that - if we did I'd have to leave...

Eewwwwww
I can only imagine. I have 2 younger brothers as well (no sisters) but I'm not particularly close with my SIL. I haven't even met my middle brother's girl, yet. :)

I have brothers as well, and one of them is only a year younger than I, and we're pretty tight. So, we feel pretty free to discuss anything...this totally freaks my husband out. He can't believe I would talk to my brother about the things I do.

My husband, BTW, has 2 sisters and 1 brother. He thinks that, apparently, the weather is the only appropriate piece of conversation.

Talking about it is waaaay better than actually hearing it.... I don't even want to go there...again.

PS cute hair!

Oh, god -- they bring it up in front of you? That is so rude. Ditto on what WS said. My sister-in-law would never.

Maybe try to get them talking about sex they had before your brothers; maybe that'll distract them. Or, better yet, throw in a, "Come ON, ladies; you're talking about my brother. He's a virgin!"

that's totally hilarious! pretty cool that none of you grew up with sisters and now you all get that chance.
