My sister in law is a cow

[shithappens123]

She’s just so bossy and full of herself. Everything has to revolve around her and she often keeps people waiting. She’s also a boring show off constantly bragging and I’ve seen the way she treats her own friends urgh.

Am I being unreasonable? For years I’ve made an effort with her but lately she’s gotten worse.

Big family do - how many? Can you just give her a hug/blow her a raspberry/whatever you do to greet her, and then suddenly see someone on the other side of the room whom you really really must say hello too, you haven't seen them for soooooo long.... while edging away? Keep doing that.

It’s too difficult to tell if YABU it sounds as if you are a little.

I have a horrible SIL but she’s singled me out and been absolutely horrible.

All families have people we wouldn’t normally choose to be friends, however being late and self centred isn’t something that would make me hate an IL. Why does it get to you so much?

We don’t usually have to spend that much time around them?

Look at her - and then at your brother and say 'Sure hope she never finds out then'

Then giggle - say sorry, that was an unfunny joke'

I know you won't but thinking about doing might make you laugh

Stay home and eat your own poo .
Job done

@Hecateh 😂

I dread to think what my SILs really think of me!

I used to have two total cow bags as SILs. Fond of whispering to each other in corners while casting meaningful glances at me.

Fortunately they are both now XSIL as both DBIL woke up, but for a few years I found family events very difficult.

It’s shit isn’t it.

I wouldn’t usually be pleased to see anyone’s marriage break up when there are kids involved but me never having to speak to my brother’s ex-wife again is at least one good thing to come out of it.

Another one who clicked to see if this was about me! I know she thinks I’m a cow.

Just keep a healthy distance OP.

she is a stay at home mom and always says how I don’t spend enough time with my children and that they’ll probably end up no hopers.

Wow. I'd probably respond with something sarcastic, like "Thank you. That's exactly what we are going for."
