WIBU to tell sil to F off?

[DoingTheBestICan]

Huge backstory to this but let's just say sil has always been the golden child, much favoured over dh, to the point that it has carried onto the gc.

I don't really want to go into the ways she has been favoured but let's just say she has had hundreds of thousands of pounds spent on her and her dc.

She had a birthday a couple of weeks ago and we texted her to wish her a happy birthday, she was out and about so we left her card with a relative who we knew she was due to see that day. We don't buy gifts for the adults, just the dc.

Just had a message off her telling us not to bother again, each year the card gets worse and she would rather we didn't bother. I'm a bit meh tbh, it was a nice card I thought with a nice verse inside with a thoughtful hand written message in it.

She's a proper spoilt diva and I can't be arsed with her fucking drama any longer. I would love to text back fuck off but dh says he's not going to respond.

Maybe we should have had her card hand delivered by turtle doves.

How did you receive the message? Was it a text? I would just reply 'fine we won't bother again' and leave it at that. Rude cow

Oh and YANBU

I would do as she says, just don't bother again. She clearly doesn't appreciate it. In fact, I'm not sure why you would ever bother contacting her again.

First time i hear about someone complaining of a greeting card.

She was breathtakingly rude with that response, I would like to text back with a 'fuck off you spoilt moose' but as your dh is looking for a radio silence then I'd probably hold back .

Don't bother next year, do you have to see her at all?

text back ok and leave it at that dont give her the drama she wants. i havent got time for spoilt princesses

It was a text, I'm so bloody angry because she has to be the centre of everything, surely a card is showing there is thought there?

I'm looking forward to not bothering again for the ungrateful cow.

Text back "Message received loud and clear" or go with Amser's suggestion as it is not rude and merely acknowledging her request.

Perhaps you could say something along the lines of 'thank god, lets extend it to all contact - it gets worse and worse every year and you'd rather not bother"

We don't see them very often thankfully, I'm just shocked at her cheek

Forward it to pil mwahahaha

I'd just text back " OK"

Ils won't have a word said against princess and she is on the highest pedestal possible.

Text back "understood." Nothing more.
It would feel great to tell her how rude she is, but she won't care.

Just text back one word - 'Okay'. It will infuriate her. Win win.

I wouldn't even bother dignifying that message with a reply. How rude (and weird)

I'd like to text back a smiley face or a thumbs up but I can't gather the muster.

My God, unless you wrote "happy birthday you C*NT" (which wouldn't be unjustified by the sounds of it) how can she find something to complain about in a birthday card. I wouldn't bother engaging with her, just reply "OK :)" and be done with it.

I barely even notice what a card is like - I just register that someone's sent me one. The fact she's a) noticed the card isn't up to scratch (whatever that means - should it have been gold-plated?) and b) bothered to comment is just plain weird.

Oh my god what a cheeky cow. I'm not sure I could let that go without saying something.

Ooh a thumbs up text would be good :o

Why bother forwarding that text to PIL? If she's been the spoilt golden child, they'll just find some way of excusing it and making out it's the fault of OP and her DH.

test back "wow - ok, how rude"

She's a cunt. I wouldn't bother replying. Or seeing or contacting her again. It doesn't sound like it'd be a great loss to you.
