Oops.. This is Lucky4me posting from my sisters house...sorry PA....

In every family there are usually one or two evil relatives we have to pretend we like over turkey dinner.

Mine is my SIL. For the last twenty years at every family gathering she has to mention how FAT and ugly my kids were as babies. If they were HER infants she would have had them on skim milk at 3 months old....ha ha hardy ha ha. (This is EVERY family gathering, hasn't disappointed us yet...)

Then she proceeds to rip apart her husband (my brother) piece by piece until no one can stand it any more and we leave her sitting alone. She is overbearing, belittling, harsh, and just plain not nice. Then she whines because no one calls her, and can't understand why I won't be her best friend. I've told her point blank her words offend me. It never seems to help.

Besides the point that my children were all gorgeous babies and she's insane, I try each Holiday to put on a good face for my brother and his family including her. I guess it is kind of fun placing bets on how long it will take her to mention fat children, and I really think I'll win this year! ;)

Anyone else care to share? :)
 
Yea....I feel better at home...just the five of us.

That way, I don't have to deal with the mess.

About 5 years ago, we traveled to Atlanta for Christmas. This is at my BIL and SIL's house. They had just built a 4,000 sq ft house. My husband's sister has two children from her first marriage, and has one with second husband.
That child is spoiled rotten. She would not let my kids play with any of her toys. Her parents never said a thing to her. My DH did not try to clear it up, so guess what? I blew up at all of them.

I said...Never again! And we have not been back.
That kid is a brat!

Then we, my other SIL and I have to sit through my MIL telling all of us how beautiful the house is. Don't we wish we had a house like that?
My DH finally told her no. He said he did not want the bill for heating or cooling it.

Well...we are headed to Savannah to see his oldest niece. She has a wonderful home, I've been told. I emailed her to tell her I would not allow a family gathering to ruin Christmas.....

We got a hotel room for the five of us, about two miles from her!
I will be much happier there!

Good luck with your Christmas gathering!
 
I have an evil SIL.. I flat out refuse to attend any function (other than a family funeral) where she's going to be present..

No "Oh but it's the holidays" - no "Oh but it's your brothers wife" - no exceptions..

She's evil - rude - obnoxious - mean - and toxic.. I don't want or need "toxic" people in my life so there's no if, and's or but's about it..
 

My SIL who hated me the day she first laid eyes on me. Her very first words EVER to me were "You used to be a cheerleader huh? :rolleyes: " And it's been downhill ever since. I could say some things that she's said to me over the years, but to be honest they are really hurtful and I would rather not relive them.
 
For me it's my uncle...actually, it's two of them. The first one isn't mean or anything...just really really REALLY LOUD. My poor DS cried almostly constantly when I took him to see the family for the first time. He was only 2 months old and all the noise and the strange faces really upset him, but it was mostly my uncle's loud mouth that scared him the most. The second uncle is just too anti-social. He lives next door to my grandmother (that's where we have our family gatherings) and when dinner's ready my grandmother calls him, he makes a plate for himself and his girlfriend and takes it back to his place. He doesn't say a word to anyone! That's just plain rude. I do have a third uncle whose wife has a tendancy to bring her poodle with them and they have been told numorous times that my grandmother is alergic to dogs (she's like 80) and not to bring the dog. So then they bring the dog and leave it in the car or tie it up outside and then say they have to hurry because the dog is waiting. Then I have an aunt who only has to drive about 50 miles to get to my grandmother's house (she probably lives the closest) and apparently the drive tires her out. She goes to my grandmother's room and lays down when she gets there, wakes up when it's time to eat, and goes back in the room to take a nap after we eat and then a couple of hours later she's ready to leave.

My husband's family is much better than mine. It's so...normal. When we have our holiday dinners it's quite, people get along, and it's actually something I look foward to.
 
Oh my gosh...what is it with these SIL?

Thought there were only a few nasty SIL's!!!
