Kate<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Let me just get straight to the point. I don\u2019t like my brother\u2019s new girlfriend. I mean, I hardly know her but she sickens me.<\/p>\n

She is only 21 and she just left college. My brother is 26 and works as a teller at a bank here and I seriously believe she\u2019s only after his money.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The reason I am saying this is because whenever she comes over she always smells like she\u2019s wearing some kind of expensive perfume. Her hair is always properly fixed.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

I am thinking maybe it\u2019s one of those expensive Brazilian weaves and she always has on different cloths with shoes to match.<\/p>\n

Honestly, my brother deserves a better woman because if she isn\u2019t working I presume he\u2019s the one paying for her \u201cup\u201d lifestyle.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

What sickens me the most is that she now drives his jeep. I never get to drive it.<\/p>\n

And when she comes to the house she\u2019s always in that room laughing and eating junk on his bed. Kate, my brother doesn\u2019t deserve this girl.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Women like that run men broke and I am worried that\u2019s her intention. I want to tell him what I think but I need your advice.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Sister Sister<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sister Sister:<\/p>\n

Well let me get straight to the point too. Get off this jealousy tantrum and let your brother live his life.<\/p>\n

You have not given me one reason to think that this young lady you speak so evilabout is up to no good. I would need more than your little childish rantings.<\/p>\n

What money could your brother possibly have working as a teller at a local bank in St John’s? Sister Sister, get a grip and get a life.<\/p>\n

Frankly, modern women can take care of themselves quite nicely without depending on men.<\/p>\n

You don\u2019t know if she has relatives abroad that send her stuff, or if her parents still take care of her needs? In the absence of not knowing don\u2019t judge.<\/p>\n

If you can look at your new sister-in-law’s hair, clothing, shoes and even know the smell of her perfume it\u2019s because you obviously have some self-esteem issues yourself.<\/p>\n

And while you work on yourself, get to know your new sister-in-law. You might actually find that your beliefs about her are farfetched.<\/p>\n

Sister Sister, it would be good for you if you just allowed your brother to enjoy his new-found love.<\/p>\n

Oh, and I willfully didn\u2019t respond to the \u201cnot driving his jeep\u201d statement.<\/p>\n
