To be browned off with my husbands niece

[RedRedWine1980]

The problems started over a year ago- when my then 4 year old was 'nasty' to her when she took her out, and hurt her feelings- which she got disciplined for and told in no uncertain terms how unacceptable it was. My DH tried to contact his niece to tell her this but no reply.

Next issue came about eight months after that when she told her Gran (my MIL) that she 'reckoned' she saw me in the car (in a place and time where I wasnt) and stuck the v's up at her.

Now my DH phoned her and again no reply, so text her saying we have no idea what she was on about, couldnt have possibly been me on that day as im in uni. She text back going 'oh i wasnt being funny I just said it LOOKED like her'

So we plod along a few months on and her and her mum (my SIL) go to the same keep fit class as me and my mate. Everytime ive been its been me made the conversation, said hello asked how she is etc. Toinight I cba quite frankly but she looked over and as i was about to wave she just turned away totally blanking me.

AIBU to be bothered by this- she is 25 btw but I just cant be arsed with some peoples rudeness

Isn't your dh's niece your niece as well? Am I missing something?

I dont really consider her to be tbh, I said when we got married I would now be her Auntie and she just snarled so shes no niece of mine!

She sounds like a prick.

I know the adult thing to do is to just be civil but I doubt I could help mouthing 'fuck off fatty' if the opportunity arose.

I have decided to just treat her with the contempt she deserves tbh. DH was going to phone and ask if she has a problem (STILL) but ive told him its not worth it, if she wants to act pathetic and childish then she can, it says more about her character than mine.

Oh lord how pathetic is she! I agree, its not worth your DH contacting her - I;d just carry on as if it never happened - a 4yo said that to her - yegads I would never speak to my Dh or kids again if I took umbrage every time one of the little critters said something to upset me [grim]

so a 25 yo held a grudge against a 4 yo for 6 months?

Well, I'll go to the foot of our stairs.

PMSL about "fat witch"
Sounds spot on to me.

Haven't read all the posts but imho a 25 year old who has her feelings upset by a 4yr old need to do a fair bit of growing up herslef. I would let it slide, her loss

hahah, agree with SM. Definitely flick her the V's next time you see her. (and then flick her one finger, stick your tongue out and make a throat slitting gesture)
