Where can I start??? Grab a Pepsi and some popcorn!!!

I so smiled when I saw this part! You have a great sense of humor!

I absolutely love one of my SIL's and she is the one who lives the farthest away from us. I only get to see her a few times a year.

I have 2 sisters-in-law. My older brother's wife is wonderful & I love her. My younger brother's wife is very nice & I like her alot. So to answer the OP, no!

Only have one, and that's my brother's wife, and I like her and we get along fine. My other brother is single so far, and DH is an only child!

Now my MIL, I'll have to wait and see. She's been very nice to me so far, but there are things she did in DH's childhood that I do not like one bit. I'm worried that once we have kids and she sees that we are not raising them they way she would, that it could cause problems. But that's pure speculation at this point, she may not care.

Lets just say that I'm glad we live in IL and she lives in PA (DH is glad too!).

My SIL just really gets on my nerves. She is soo self centered. She is the only girl, with 4 brothers. The brothers all cater to her, they cut her grass and fix things all of the time. This is all while her husband does nothing. Plus she gets a $200 week allowance from her father and unlimmited use of FIL'sir credit cards. Meanwhile, her brothers and the brothers kids get nothing.

Once, for 2 weeks when I was 8 months pregnant I was asigned the job of babysitting my SIL's 2 kids while she worked durring the day. This was not for money. I was supose to have the kids do all their homework and feed them dinner before SIL got home. SIL would be home before 5 everyday, but she wanted them to eat dinner before she picked them up. SIL got so mad at me one day, because I didn't have their homework done. I was pretty mad at SIL, so I porposely did'nt do it. After that, I was relieved of the babysitting job. MIL had to drop out of a club she was involved in so that she could babysit.

Meanwhile, SIL life is very much a mess. But to the brothers and parents, she can do no wrong. She really anoys me.

My SIL took off for many years before I even knew DH. She just took off and nobody heard from her. When MIL got sick, she turned up. She said she wanted custody of BIL who is handicapped. MIL had DH has the beneficiary of her insurance and told DH to give the rest of the money to SIL to be put an account for BIL. SIL found BIL a group home and, supposedly, was going to handle all of his affairs, etc. After MIL's funeral, SIL called us every day looking for the money. At one point, she accused us of keeping it. Seriously, it was about $5,000 and I'm not that hard up for money. Once we gave her the money, we didn't hear from her or any of DH's siblings. Then, one day, we get a call from a BIL asking for money. Uh, don't think so. Then, the other BIL called for money. We refused. Didn't hear from them for 3 years.

A few months ago, a cop comes to our house telling us the police in MA need us to call them. The cop in MA tells us that BIL that was in the group home ran away from DH's aunt's house. We didn't even know he was there....what happened to SIL? SIL took off with the $5,000. DH's aunt took BIL in for the SS money he gets every month - removed him from the group home. The police called the other BILs who said what they always say - let DH handle it. We told the police we haven't heard from any of them in 3 years and had no idea how we could help them. We don't live near there and we can't take BIL because we can't care for him. We have no idea what happened....nobody ever called us back.

I have a SIL who I roll my eyes at a lot, but can't really say I hate her. She's one of those who expects everyone to be just like her, and gets upset when they aren't. Another one is a control freak but over the years I've learned to just not let her have control when it comes to me and my family- saying no worked wonders .

But really, I just wanted to say, great use of smilies in the OP .
