She. She wasn't there so she wasn't there. And I don't know how far this fight would have gone if she was there. I don't know, because I think she would have been possibly okay with the comments that he was making, But I think she probably would have respected me enough to tell him, was he.

B (3:17)

Was he drinking? Was this at dinner? When were these comments made? The circumstances.

C (3:23)

We don't drink. We were just at breakfast. It was me, my husband, my oldest brother, and my younger brother. So my parents weren't there. We were just at breakfast all together. And my oldest brother just starts talking about women's boobs, which I don't want my little brother hearing that and thinking that that's an okay conversation to have.

B (3:46)

Well, what was he saying? This married man with a kid on the way, what was he saying about boobs? I mean, what was the point of his conversation?

C (3:58)

He brought up that next door was a food place that he brought a girl to. And he said that was the first time he realized that regular girls could have fake boobs. It didn't just have to be celebrities. And then my little brother was like, ew, that's disgusting. Like, my little brother reacted. He's totally kind of. He has the same viewpoint I do, except for I'm a girl, so I'm a little more not willing to have these conversations. And then my older brother, my oldest brother goes, oh, so you like. You like big naturals? You like big, natural boobs, like Sydney Sweeney. So he's just saying disgusting things. And I 100% sense, stand up for what I believe. I don't just harp on it. Think about it, and then later say something. I told him straight up right there, you're a married man. You have a wife with a child on the way. This is embarrassing, what you're talking about, and it's disgusting. Please stop talking about it in front of me, my husband, and my little brother. And he shrugged it off, like, laughed it off, Just kind of kept talking about it and was talking about celebrity crushes after that. So a little more harmless, but, like, it was just gross. And at that time, lunch or breakfast was ending, so I was getting up already to go, and I just walked away because I was like, I don't want to sit here for this. And then we get to the beach, and I plan on saying something to him later, pulling him aside, because I don't want to make a big deal in front of everyone. And I know you need to stop.

B (5:39)

You need to stop now. Okay.

C (5:41)

Okay.

B (5:42)

If what you told me is accurate, that was fine. That you went on with it later was a huge mistake.

C (5:54)

Okay?

B (5:54)

Huge.

C (5:55)

I didn't bring it up later.

B (5:57)

You said you want, okay? Isn't that what you just said? You wanted to talk about it later? Did you know that skin care can start in the laundry room?

I did. I wanted to pull him aside to just say no.

B (9:11)

You should. You already told him. You already told him that that was a mistake because bringing up again when it's done is like poking the bear now. It's embarrassing and annoying. You already said your piece. And if you told me exactly what you said, it was brilliant and it was done.

C (9:38)

Thank you.

B (9:41)

And I don't see why this. Why you came on the air saying this was a big fight. This is not a big fight. He acted like a jerk. You give him a mature response. Now it's over.

C (9:52)

It became a big fight because he brought it up again, calling me a prude.

B (9:59)

And then you just shrug your shoulders. And your husband, I'm sure, was thrilled that you jumped in again.

C (10:08)

Fair enough.

B (10:11)

Okay. Come on, sweetheart. You know your brother's a jerk. You've known that.

C (10:20)

Yeah.

B (10:21)

You don't have to keep proving it or trying to stop it. Just shrug your shoulder and say, yeah, I'm a prude. And then get on. Jump in the water. Put more sunblock on. That's it.

C (10:34)

Yeah.

B (10:35)

Don't let him tease you into it anymore. That or anything else.

C (10:42)

Oh, you are so right. And I always. When anytime anything like this happens, I always feel that way. I don't hold any resentment or feel like, hurt.

B (10:52)

Oh, you can hold all resentment you want. I'm okay with that. Just don't get into it.

C (10:58)

He always baits me, and I let him.

B (11:01)

Honey, he baits you because it works. You have to stop making it work or your husband's going to get fed up with these family interactions.

C (11:10)

That's for sure. He's very nonsense.

B (11:16)

Mother Laura's Rule 13.4b. Just shrug and laugh. Yeah, I'm a prude. And then get on.

C (11:27)

Oh, yeah. Okay. Yep.

B (11:31)

Well, because he does this to get your goat. Okay, Cosette, he does this to get your goat. You have to stop having goats around.
