I don't know if I'm entitled to be so annoyed by this but for years now I've had to put up with my SILs exaggerating/lies/attention seeking regarding her kids and illnesses and diagnosis etc. Its like a weekly occurance on fb to get as many "OMG" comments.
For a bit of back ground info she's been with my BIL around 12 years and has 2 sons from previous relationships ( one of which is diagnosed with autism) Other no diagnosis but she as always claimed they both are.
My niece is 8 and again she has been trying to fight for a diagnosis. I do agree she has traits but I feel she is trying to force difficulties on her ( eg, having her wear ear defenders when you can actually tell she's uncomfortable with them on)
I have tried to be understanding and other family members have noticed things which are a bit odd. Her MH isn't the best but BIL is just away with the fairys and doesn't seem to think there's a big issue. Hes not on fb so hasn't seen some of the crap she posts.
Reason for the post is to get it off my chest as I don't think social media is the place. This morning she's tagged herself at a&e with her younger son saying "hoping for some answers" - ITS A ENT APPOINTMENT 🤬. She's not specified any info but seriously. Why do I seem to be the only family member annoyed by this all BIL family members are too laid back to care.
So many other stuff aswell that could mention. I feel she needs some extra help with her MH but since nobody else seems to care I guess I'll have to try or just leave it be and continue to get annoyed by her using kids for her own attention
