Hi, i hope its ok to post in this section, not really a poster usually just a watcher.

Bit angry at moment and needing to vent. So my partner is off work sick at moment, a comment was made on facebook by his half sister (dads daughter) on one of my posts saying that bit strapped at moment whilst talking to a friend.

Her comment was "well sure mummy and daddy will bail him out again". I totally ignored the comment but my friend messaged me and was like wtf is her problem so I know its not just me over reacting.

Theres been other comments aswell in the past, she seems to think OHs parents are throwing money at us left right and centre which is not the case.

When his mums dad died she was left some money and gave Oh and myself quite a bit all went towards the house that is the only time have been given anything. She said she should of been entitled to some money because hes married to my mother in law. See her point a little but she kicked a right fuss up.

Ive kept quiet long enough and want to say something but OH has said ignore her. I just want to put the record straight to her that we both work hard and entitled to have nice things without thinking weve been given money.

Opinions please xx

It's hard but ignore her completely and delete her from your FB. That will annoy her more than engaging.

Rather than delet her, hide her and post to a more restricted group.

I feel quite sad aswell she acts this way because we meet up with kids and have a right laugh but shes got this side to her when it comes to my partner, he said shes always been same.

It’s from his side - family of origin, so he is the ambassador in dealing with them. He said ignore, so ignore.

It may be down to some sort of sibling rivalry so there is nothing you can do to “fix” that. No to setting the record straight- it isn’t about the record being straight, it is about her one-upsmanship at the expense of your dp. Getting into a pissing match with her will only embarrass yourself. Stop caring what she thinks.

I'm over caring about shitbags like her OP... Block.. that's what it's here for Flowers

Is your MIL the stepmother of sister-in-law? Or is she the child of father-in-law's second marriage, in which case she doesn't really have any relationship with the deceased?

LetMeGo66 · 10/05/2018 00:13

If she has no relation to the deceased then she’s just being jealous about the money.

It would piss me off that she’s put that on Facebook for everyone to see. You either need to ignore her or ask her outright what her problem is.

Hi. Sorry for late reply didnt realise I had new replies.

Appreciate your words. Ive changed my settings so she cant see my posts, I dont want to block her as our kids get on great.

I know it shouldnt matter but just felt really embarrased by her comment like I say we both work and dont ask for anything we save and budget and at times its hard but Im so proud of what we have, ok so we had help with house but everything in it is bought and paid for or on credit.

MIL also saw the comment and wasnt impressed, said she has no room to comment as constantly asking her dad to help her out.

Im not as annoyed now, jealousy is an horrible thing. Understand the sibling rivalry thing as got 3 myself and feel like the black sheep sometimes.

Owell. Grin x
