Inspired by in-laws, I know I am not the only one with a crazy S-in -Law!

[budbeerlady]

Lets hear it about the sister in laws?!?!?! I have more issues with her than the mother in law!!!! Anyone else have evil sister - in -laws?

I am sure mine isnt the craziest out there and we do the typical avoid them to keep our sanity! But it make me feel better to know I am not the only one who inherited a nut with the family!

Story #1: We were both building our homes in the same year. She started before us as we rented for 6 months after getting married to save up some more money to pay off our property before we built on it. I would try to be polite and ask her how it was going and what were they doing as far as carpet, etc. (Never again!) So M-In- Law stops by to help me clean up a bit after the carpenters and tells me that I would love SL bathroom. Really, what did she do with it? It was down to the tile scheme I had chosen the same bathroom! I had said in idle conversation what I was going to do, you bet, she put in the bathroom I had described! Gotta love family!!!!! So we did something else, I would have kept going with my plan if I had purchased all the tiles, etc.

We have determined they have attention deficet disorder. If they dont have attention on them they get a disorder!

My SIl has a serious case of foot in mouth disease...her problem is she says things and has no care for those around her or if it's hurting their feelings.

Her kids went to private, Catholic school. When Communion time came around she complained left and right about the stupid parents of those public school kids. They ask the dumbest questions and why do they force our kids to make their First communion with these kids of idiots. Well, my kids are public school kids...after about the 4th or 5th time of her saying it, I left her house. Saturday I was at her sons play (now in PUBLIC highschool) she is talking to her friend Lori...who is married to a divorced man. She comes back over to me and starts talking about Lori's husbands ex. "His ex is really big, so I told Lori she must be loving the fact that she is so skinny when he has such a fat ex wife...and he must be loving being with a skinny woman too and not some fatty" Well, I'm sitting next to my SIL...all 200 + pounds of me. How stupid is she?

Thats just the tip of ice burg...she does stuff like this all the time.

One of my SILs is such a nut that there isn't enough space on the DIS to write it all down.

My SIL and her husband are driving my DH even crazier than usual lately. My SIL has always been a bit nutty and her hubby has always been a big (use whatever bad word you are fond of!). They are very status oriented and MUST have whatever their friends have.

My FIL went into the hospital and two weeks later my MIL went in. They are both presently in the same hospital on different floors. MIL is in ICU and FIL is two floors up in a room.

My SIL the status hound decided it was a good time to go to Florida to look at condo's because one of their friends just bought one that is nicer than the one SIL already has in Florida. They left town with both her parents in the hospital to find a better condo . Apparently it couldn't wait even one more week.

Ever since she left she's been constantly bugging my poor DH who has been running back and forth from one floor to the other at the hospital. He finally told her that he would call her because every time she called he had to go outside the hospital to call her back and if he didn't call back within five minutes she would freak and call back every two minutes having decided that one of her parents had died and my DH wasn't going to tell her. Then when something big did happen and he called her he could hear her husband in the background complaining that the phone ringing was ruining his nap. I told him next time she calls and I'm near the phone I'm giving her an earfull. If she was that concerned she should have hung around.

Family, sometimes you just want to.............................grrrrrrr

I hope I'm not the crazy SIL!

My SIL....no comment.
Claiming the Thumper rule: if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all!

I just thought of another one. Way back when our kids were very little I worked PT at night. SSIL worked FT days so she had her MIL watch her kids (for pay) 3 days a week and me (no pay) 2 days a week. I had DD - 4, DD - almost 3 and was pregnant with #3. Her boys were 3 1/2 and 1. So my blood pressure was going up, I was spotting and my doctor told me I had to cut back and relax a bit. I told my SIL that I was having some problems with the pregnancy and watching her 2 plus mine all so close in age was too much for me...plus after the baby was born there was no way I could take care of 5 kids under 5 years old. She was furious with me! She said "Oh great now I'm going to have to pay my MIL for 2 more days, just great!" and stormed out of MY MIl's house. She didn't talk to me for 3 weeks. No concern over what I was dealing with, never asked me how things were going...nothing.

I tolerate her because she is my DH's sister...he does the same. But I had a friend who after the first time she met her asked if I liked my SIL. I said yes...and her response was..."If she wasn't your SIL would you like her?" I can honestly say, No I would not.

I think it is harder to like my SIL because she is family. If she wasn't family it would be much easier to get along with her. As it is she has issues with her family and takes it out on her DH familY (me.) I don't think she is a bad person, but God it wears me out dealing with her sometimes.

Does this make any sense?

The DIS does not have enough space, memory, bandwidth...whatever the heck you call it, for me to post about my crazy SIL.

 

[kikakeko]

I have 4 SIL's all on my dh's side of the family- I finally just decided it was just easier not to talk other than holidays because they are all "all about me" sorts... you know the kind who always one up no matter the situation. Except for one and she is meek like a mouse and I can't deal with that either, she meets my BIL at the door with a drink in hand.

There has been lots of bad blood over the years...We could be the stars of our own miniseries if the right writer came along.
My MIL is in the mix of things too. MY DH just shakes his head and is just waiting to get transfered. It is very sad.
My side of the family is cooky but tolerable in small doses.

After we adopted our kids, SIL was jealous that we had kids and she didn't yet. She thought that we had gotten new toys (the kids) and wanted to play with them constantly... on her schedule, which wasn't convenient for our schedule. I, in the meantime, truly believed that I'd never see 10:00 at night ever again because of the jet lag and getting the house organized around 4 people instead of 2. We let DH's family know that we needed some space.

So, SIL sends me the most hate-filled email. I still have it saved. Never know when you're gonna need to pull out evidence. It told me that I was a horrible mother, that I didn't deserve her brother, that I was a tyrant, etc., etc. After no response from me, she continued to harass me with these evil emails... only she had decided to include others in the carbon copies. I think she believed that she was being superior to me by writing these vile things especially since she had an audience who hung on her every word. After her sister's wedding, she sent me an email saying that I should wash my hair before going to a wedding. Geez, so that's what I forgot that morning! NOT! Sorry that she doesn't like my straight, baby-fine hair.

Needless to say, we'd go to family holidays and I'd sit in the living room with the kids and she'd stay in the kitchen. Things were very strained.

After my MIL apologized to me for being so horrible to me for 10-years, I promised that I'd mend fences with her DD. Although she has never apologized and I have never brought it up to her, we are civil to one another. I won't forget what she did. She has 2 boys of her own now and that has softened her edges somewhat. We are more than good to her boys, especially her youngest one. He is DH's godchild.... and for a brief blip, was the youngest stockholder of the bank for which we work, thanks to an account we setup for him. I can only assume that someone else has purchased stock for an infant by now. Now, if I could only get her to give me the account number for the direct purchase option, we could deposit more money into his account for his future education.

Would I be friends with her if she wasn't my SIL? Not hardly.

 

[Crankyshank]

Older SIL - really have nothing to do with her. She's a raving witch and hasn't contacted us in any way except to send graduation announcements since we moved up here 6yrs ago.

Younger SIL- uggggh. Let's just say DH didn't talk to his parents for 4 months and still has only very limited contact with them because of their excusing and blaming me for her behavior when we visited them in October. She's spoiled, manipulative, ignorant, etc.... she lives with the in-laws and has them raising her 2 young sons while she goes off and does what she pleases while telling me I'm not fit to have children because I'm Catholic.

Ditto to that!

The only thing nice I can think of right now about my Evil SIL is that we haven't spoken with or seen her since 1994. Been the best 12 years of my life.

 

[In a hurry]

Psycho SIL here, too. She has a basic belief that the world revolves soley around her. We were on a small lake one weekend, and one of the giant water-collecting airplanes comes in and fills up to put out a fire. She wouldn't get her boat out of the way. Thought the pilot was just giving her a hard time because she was female.

Ditto.

My SIL and her immediate family have been disowned by most (if not all) of our extended family. Her actions through the years have been toxic. I seriously wonder how she and dh are related. She is actually his half-sister, which might explain it.

Fortunately, the rest of my ILs are wonderful people. With the exception of SIL and her crew, I couldn't have married into a nicer family.

 

[Disneemomee]

i do not have a crazy sil i have a WACKO SISTER, we are 15 month apart and have been through alot as sisters , and b/c she is my blood relative i put up with her but if it was not for DNA, no way would i choose her as a friend.

She literally thinks the world revolves around her, she just got married this Sept and actually put a card in the wedding invitation stating " The bride would like all guests to refrain from wearing, white or black to the wedding , white for the obvious and black b/c she despies the color" IMAGINE THAT

She didnt want to invite our grandma's brother and his wife, b/c get this they were ugly and never wore nice clothes to any other family function!!

Just to spite her we invited my aunt to thebridal shower so she had be invite to the wedding

The bridezilla is now pregnant , God help us all !!!

 

[Stacey2grls]

My SIL is extremely controlling! This past summer I just had it! She would constantly invite us over to her pool, we would go occasionally just to keep up appearances, but had no joy in it. We eventually had to start lying which I know is a bad idea. I just couldn't stand going over there pretending to like these people for hours on end! Now, we don't even speak, which is fine by me!

 

[Stacerita]

Now, before I start, I like my SIL for the most part. And I dont think shes crazy, well, maybe just a bit. Its more like she drives me crazy. Shes a SAHM and does everything perfect. Or so she thinks. It drives me up a wall when she tries to tell me how to do something, or how Im not doing something right. I work outside the home and am a single mom but yet she doesn't think it should matter and that I should be able to do the same things as her. She doesn't see why I wait till the weekend to do laundry while she does hers doing the week. When I remind her I have a job, she comes unglued and says being a SAHM is a full time job. I dont dispute that, but I work a full time job, and then still have the whole full time MOM thing to do. It really irks me that she thinks she is better at being a mom. Heck, ive been a mom just as long as she has. She doesn't have one up on me or anything, but yet she thinks she knows it all. UGH!

 

[izzy]

We've nicknamed my evil SIL the "H.O." Before I get banned from the DIS, that stands for Harriett Oleson. Anyone who's seen "Little House on the Prairie" knows exactly what I mean. It makes me so mad the way she treats my brother. He deserves so much better than her.

Thank goodness for my other SIL. I tell my other brother all these time that he'd better never do anything to hurt her, or my Mom and I will come after him!

As we say about the H.O. - "every family has one, and she is ours."

 

[T1130]

Oh I got one of those too!
Here is my lastest problem with my sil: My B-day was Feb.7. On Feb. 10 we got together with my family to celebrate mine and my aunt`s b-day ( we are to weeks apart). My sil calls my mom and says she is going to be late because she is at the mall buying presents. She arrives and gives me a $ 25.00 gift card to itunes. And then tells me my niece (who is my god daughter) has a present for me but wants to give it to me herself ( she was at the Knicks game that night).
Now I am not stupid.I know there is no present from my niece.
Well it is March 21 I have seen my niece 2x since that night. Still no present and no mention of a present.
I don`t even care about the present But why lie. Why make such a big deal that you send your kids to catholic school and how you attend mass every Sunday. When you lied straight to my face. I want to ask her about the present but my mom says why do you have to make waves just let it go. That just how she is. Thank you I needed to get that off my chest.
