I’ve been married a year. I feel very lucky to have a lovely relationship with the in-laws.
Except for SIL.
Mil and I get on amazingly. Right from the beginning we clicked. Proper soulmate. And I feel so lucky that she is my MIL.
Unfortunately SIL and I don’t click. We are polite on the surface but I know she doesn’t like me and it makes me feel very sad. She has 3 dcs who DH and I try to see as much as possible but recently it’s becoming an issue as the snide comments about my friendship with MIL become more barbed.
We are all part of a family group WhatsApp and SIL either ignores or responds snippily to anything I send. To the point that I now think twice about even saying anything at all.
How can I make this better? MIL is aware of the problem and has taken a step back from our friendship in terms of online interaction that SIL can see. I absolutely don’t want to upset SIL but at the same time feel that she needs to grow up an accept that I’m now part of the family and have a friendship with her mum!
