My cousin and I were close while growing up. We both moved out of state (different states) for college then moved back home after college. Ever since I moved back, she has constantly try to put me down or to prove that she is better than me. For example.
Scenario 1
At a bridal shower.
Her: where did you get that diva dress?
Me: I am not sure what you mean by diva dress but I got it from Ann Taylor store.
Her: it's a nice dress but it would probably look better on a taller girl
Scenario 2
At her house with her in-laws around.
Her mother in law to me: so what do you do for a living.
Me: I am an engineer
My cousin: Kay surprised everybody by going to college and actually graduating.
I was shocked by her response and did not say anything. To give a little credit. Most people were surprised that I went to college much less graduate with an engineering degree.
Scenario 3.
Me: what can I help you with for your upcoming wedding?
Her: nothing
Me: is your little boy going to be a ring bearer ?
Her (with a laugh): people don't do that anymore. That's so old fashioned.
I know this is all petty stuff but I just need help with how to deal with her. It's getting to a point where I don't want to be around her anymore. About 30% of the conversions we have are like that so it's becoming exhausting. I have mentioned it to her and she has scaled down but she is still doing it. Any ideas of how I can deal with her?
