Mine are all lovely. I have four and they are all really nice people.

skerriesmum · 09/02/2008 18:13

Oh yeah, I hear you on this one! Mine practically lives at my in-laws', expects them to babysit all the time etc. Really selfish. Also never manages to organize Christmas presents for any of us and yet expects loads spent on her on her birthday etc. I could go on all day but I won't...

hunkermunker · 09/02/2008 18:13

Sounds like she's feeling very insecure atm.

Either that or she's a total cow.

You could either try saying to her, "I'm not aware it's a competition - in fact, I'm fairly sure that the best-adjusted children don't have overly competitive parents who live through their children's achievements" or you could just say, sympathetically, "Well, he has to do something to get away from you, doesn't he?" or you could try, "Shame he's such an ugly sod, then" - or you could just think all three and have a lovely smile on your face whenever she says anything mental.

She does sound dreadful. Do you have to spend time with her?

oxocube · 09/02/2008 18:24

Mine is nice.

SisterBee · 09/02/2008 18:25

I have to use the 'shame he's so ugly then' one for my SIL when she starts mentioning for the millionth time her DSs G and T achievements. I just have to. I can't wait!

PrincessSnowLife · 09/02/2008 18:30

mine's lovely

kd73 · 09/02/2008 18:53

My partners sister in law is lovely, she told me years ago that I am not part of the family as not actually married. Only with partner for money, too selfish for children, she congratulates me on making weight watchers so profitable admiring my ability to eat as much as I do. She pities my need to have friends understanding that this is due to my self esteem. At christmas she said to whoever was listening "and if i do say so myself i produce beautiful children".

She is a size 18 primarily sahm working p/t as a hairdresser.

I am a size 14 would be parent, but having had issues and m/c instead I work full time.

I believe what goes around comes around and she will one day get her just desserts and I will have the last laugh!

my sil is lovely, mil is lovely.

mother is evil!

clur79 · 09/02/2008 19:09

My SIL is a cow as well! She always makes snide comments about my parenting skills. She went beack to work full time when her son was 4 months, goes out all weekend with MIL babysitting. I am staying off for the full year (making sacrifices to do so), and she has the cheek to moan about SAHMs and the fact they don't let their children go. She insists my 7 month old is too attached to me! No its just that her 9 month old couldn't care less whiether she is there or not!! Arrrrrgggggghhhhh

I just smile sweetly......

Pitufina · 09/02/2008 19:22

I love mine!

DH's sister is a bitch.

She said DH was as bad as Hitler for dating me and contributing to the eradication of the Jewish race. And then was furious when DH didn't mention her in his wedding speech.

She expects every family occasion to revolve around her and her needs and when it doesn't i.e. my DS's birthday party, she bitches and moans and complains.

She's dim, self centred and extremely ungenerous.

I keep away from DH's female relatives as much as possible as they are vile.

brimfull · 09/02/2008 19:37

my SIl is a complete kaka.

she has a really annoying way of crucifying the english language with appalling grammar and a truly awful Southampton accent

she calls those crappy magazines "yours" and "womans own"" books ffs!

she drinks asti farkin spumante

she is obsessively clean and tidy

god I was so disappointed when by bil married her

notnowbernard · 09/02/2008 19:43

I have 3.

One is really sweet and lovely.

One is a great laugh, have lots in common etc.

One is completely mental and extremely high maintenance and I question her sanity.

Tortington · 09/02/2008 19:47

i have two

they both have an inferiority complex and talk about their kids a lot infront of the gps- who see them every day and say things like "he is just like custy's dd/ds" which i think is a compliment really

just a bit wet - as they dont out and out ask after them

huggymummy · 09/02/2008 19:54

I have one - 34 still hasn't finished her degree she started at 18 (mil and bil paying), has left bil as he's become an alcoholic (wonder why?) but has got him to move out and she live there. Has been kicked off the degree course and has enrolled for a mini degree at a private uni (mil paying). Has never worked, doesn't drive, can't use a pc, can't walk to the local supermarket.

She has a violent temper, and foot stomping trantrums and when she comes to stay with us has no issues with rummaging through my cupboards and taking my things and putting them in her suitcase.

She also has an eating disorder and looks like the witch from Wizard of Oz.

When I was pregant she asked whether anyone thought we'd be capable of looking after a baby!

LOL!

WingsofanAngel · 09/02/2008 19:59

I don't have any DH is an only child

ingles2 · 09/02/2008 20:01

I've got 2...
1 is lovely
the other is an extremely scary control freak who has never let her dc go, despite the fact they are in their 20's now and is a daily reminder of how not to parent your children.
