Deleted old personal info. No reason to keep my old vent around. Thanks.

No, I actually like mine quite a lot, despite the fact that my sister and I sometimes think her sole purpose in life is to make us look bad. Trying having a Pillsbury Bake-Off finalist for a sister-in-law sometime!

Lulu, I share your pain. I hated my sister-in-law, too. Fortunately, I am no longer married to her brother (whom I also hate!!!) so I have not had to see or hear from her in several years. Not to worry, she and her brother are now estranged, so no one in my family has had to put up with her . A shame, as she lives in or near Orlando now, and we could let the cousins see each other when I visit WDW, but no contact in five years now.

I have 3 sister in laws. (I had 4 but one died of breast cancer and she was my very favorite and very close friend. )

My other 3 well, we get along to different degrees.

One I don't know too well, but like fine and we have been communicating more and getting to know each other better lately (we have known each other for 15 years.)

One I love, but she can drive you a bit batty. However what is family for? She has a good heart and she is a good person.

The last, well what can I say? I think we would get along much better if we weren't in the same family. She is an ok person, but very difficult to be a SIL with. She is very motovated by jelously and is constanitly complaining and never looks on the bright side of anything (very different then me.) They won't come to my house because we have a cat, but this makes every family gathering difficult because we are the only ones willing to have everyone over so they are always feeling left out (they have a very small house, bearly enough room for them.) Everything is a crisis with her and it is so trireing. (however it must actaully be wrose to be her instead of just being her SIL so I have symptahy for her.) Sometimes we get along pretty well, in some ways we have a lot in commom. The worst part is I feel like I have lost my brother. (and we were very close, she is very jelous of our family ties.)

As sad she isn't bad, actaully I think she has a lot of good quailites. However being in the same family. ~sigh.~ It takes a lot of patience.

I really don't like to use that word, but yes - I have one sister-in-law that I "hate".. She's married to my youngest brother.. I could give you a whole laundry list of things that I hate about her, but there are two that really sealed it for me:

She would constantly call my elderly mother and tell her she was going to take her out for the day.. My Mom would get all excited, get dressed and wait by the door all day and way into the evening and she would never come!!! Wouldn't even call!! (To me, that's a "death wish" right there..)

And secondly, I found out that she hit my 87 year old mother..

Yes - I HATE her - and that will never change..

i dont have a sister in law
but have had huge huge issues with DH mother and his brothers

 

[Crankyshank]

I wouldn't say hate but I wouldn't be sad if I never spoke to either one of them ever again.
The youngest is so bad that after her typical acting like an out of control spoiled rotten 9 yr old (she's 27 and the mother of 2 boys) behavior when we visited earlier this month DH has decided to pretty much cut her out of his life. Pretty nice behavior on her part considering she hasn't seen her only brother in several years

 

[Shelby5514]

She is a selfish, uneducated, hypocritical, deceitful, greedy, self-serving, judgmental, big mouthed, inconsiderate person.

This sounds like my Brother-in-Law!

she hit your mother?????!!!!

OMG how did you control yourself from killing her??

 

[luvmydogs]

I only have one sister-in-law, and although I don't hate her, we certainly don't get along.

She has no idea why on earth her brother (my dh) would ever marry me.

I have no idea why at age 46, she still lives at home with her mother and spends her whole paycheck at Ebay, buying Beanie Babies and anything to do with owls.

And she's still alive? How much longer are you going to let her live? I have an 84 year old father so I know how protective we are about our parents.

-------------------------------------

My sister-in-law and my brother live in the townhouse right behind my Mom's, but Mom is in an assisted living facility now so at least she's safe..

The only reason I didn't KILL her is because I have a granddaughter who would be very upset if her Grandma landed in jail.. She'll get hers in the end though - one way or another..

I have an intense dislike of my sister in law (DH's brother's wife). She made no bones about it that her daughter was the "golden child" and her son was to much like his father's side of the family. BIL finally admitted that they played some role in DN's problems. She has yet to admit that any of it is her fault. It is just the bad side of the family in him.

Before my sil got married, which was 10 yrs ago, she used to hold my youngest dd between her legs and pinch her. My dd told me she finally bit her and I remember everyone reacting to that situation, and telling my dd how wrong it is to bite people. My dd never told us my sil was doing that.

At a museum, my husband had our dd on his shoulders and Callie kept squiling, and finally I told me husband to knock it off, why is Callie doing that, and Callie finally told us, that (the sil) was pinching her behind. I gave her a really dirty look.

Well, she is married now with 1 dd. who is five. My mil finally found out how twisted her dd is. She witnessed her teasing and pinching the new dog they have and saw a really ugly side to her how she treated her daughter. I don't know if she is going to do anything about it, but I never heard my mil say anything bad about her daughter, so this sort of surprised us. I saw that my mil had her daughter for the past 4 days because of teachers convention-it's will be interesting to see what happens.

 

[mermaidlady]

oh where can I start. She completely ignored me when I was pregnant because of jealsey. She made her best friend godmother to her two kids. she is godmother to one of our kids. She has married to two abusive men and lost her house to bankrupcy. she is in the middle of divorcing #2 and is dating a guy she met on the internet. We helped her move twice and she refused to help us move. She didn't come to my son's 1st communion to go garage saling. Her daughter stole a cell phone and game boy from us and we never got an apology just excuses. She ignores me when we come over and acutully got mad at my DH for coming to his own mother's house (she lives with her mother). If she comes to our house she sits in the living room and reads a book. Hopefully she will move soon.

I don't have any SIL's that I hate, actually I don't have any that I even dislike but there are some that I am closer to than others. One SIL bothers me because she's very stand-offish and I have hard time getting a 'family' feeling about her. Of course it is pretty intimidating to join a large close-knit family. I'm going to make an extra effort these holidays to make her comfortable.

Lulu, where's your brother in all of this? Have you talked to him about your concerns?

Wow! I never thought there could be a worse sister in law than mine! That is unforgiveable! I can't imagine sharing family meals, etc. after that. .

------------------------

I "share" nothing with her (or my youngest brother, for that fact).. I don't see them, I don't speak to them, and I sure as heck don't send them a Christmas card!!

 

[Rex Rules]

How does your brother feel about this and how does he get along with her if she is such a shrew to his family and their own child? So sad!!

I have two sisters in law and they are ok. We don't really see each other that often, but I don't have any major complaints about either of them.

It is my own sister that drives me INSANE. Her husband, too - he is such an idiot.
