(what would you do or say)
Here is the scenario: DH's cousin's second wife (I hope I haven't lost you yet)
is having a catalog show for me. She sent e-invites to 2 grown step-daughters but they told her that they would not buy anything because they have a friend that sells and has sold PC for a long time (the girls do know me too as I have been in the family since they were small). However, when their father was making an order from me a few months ago, they were more than happy to give him a laundry list of things that he could buy from me to GIVE to them. Money is not an issue for either of them, there are no ill feelings with wife #2 (been married to their father for over 13 yrs) or me (that I know of) and she has done so much for them. Although I admire their loyaly to their friend, I just find it amazing that just because their friend sells PC that they can't help their step-mom to reach her goal (which she is having some trouble getting orders). Does that mean that if their friend works at one car dealership that they can't buy a different make car? Or if friends work at one store, they can't shop elsewhere?
I won't lose any sleep over it as it is really trivial (venting is good) but I just found it a little selfish. Am I wrong?
