UGH! This is more of a rant. Be warned.
We were at a family gathering this weekend and SIL (she's married to DH's brother) brought up clotheslines for some reason and said "Well DH won't let me have one as it would spoil our view." She says things like this all the time "DH wouldn't let me put that rug in DD's room even if I bought it" "DH wouldn't let DS go to gymnastics even if he wanted to" and on and on and on. She does it in a jokey "ain't men awful" kind of way and it makes my teeth itch.
She is walked all over by her DH and her DC (her DD, who is 4, yelled at her because SIL told her to stop singing "Holy shit" to the tune of Old McDonald; both DCs slap her, etc) but she seems to enjoy martyrdom. (i.e "the kids are SUCH picky eaters, they won't eat a thing" "the kids won't sleep through the night unless we lie with them, I'm so tired" ) etc etc.
AAAARRRRGGGGHHH!
Okay, rant over.

AIBU?
to wish that SIL would stop saying BIL "won't let me do" things before I slap both of them sharpish?
