SIL from h3ll

love_melongtime

Ok ladies- I know I can't be the only one here who has satan's spawn for a SIL. (DH's brother's wife) is seriously the worst person I know. She lies, she will do anything she can to hurt a person or to bring someone down. She is the most backstabbing person I have ever known and she has hurt me in more ways than I can count. (Mostly because when we first met, we became close and as we all know, those close to you have the power to hurt you the most.) Anyway, the entire family walks on egg shells around her and I honestly secretly wish she would get hit by a train.

SO- share your SIL stories here. I know I can't be the only one!

My SIL copies EVERYTHING that I do!! To the extent of when she had her baby shower last fall she said she wanted it exactly like my bridal shower... everything was the same! AND the topper of it all - she took our baby name that we picked out over 2 years ago... they're baby was just born and now that we are expecting we start the name search all over!

I posted this past week about my sister being unhappy about this pg because the EDD is nephew's birthday. Well alot of crap went down after that, including her accusing me of telling her all about her mistakes (kid at 17 and 20, soon to be divorced from their father after 9 yrs of marriage, etc). Which I never said, ever! I never called her children mistakes, I mean, they are beautiful smart kids, ill timed perhaps, but not mistakes. I called her out on calling her own kids mistakes. And we are no longer talking. Probably won't ever talk again. And I don't feel sad about it at all.

She has a history of taking happy moments in my life and ruining them. Like bridesmaid dress shopping, or the pg of our first child, or really anything that involved me getting any amount of spotlight.

"Quitting" her is probably the best thing I have done in a long time. And while that is sad, I didn't need the extra stress of her evilness in my life. If its not about her it doesn't matter and I don't want that negativity in my life.

Sooo true! This is exactly what I had to do with my SIL. I just hate that we are related, because she obviously attends (some) family gatherings. But I guess cutting them out as much as possible is all we can really do!

SIL can be a treat. She likes to copy things that I do, to the point MIL and FIL make jokes they know what SIL will be buying for MIL for holidays because its a copy of whatever I gave them the previous holiday. Its gotten so obvious other people have commented on it. It used to really make me angry but now I just let it go.

What upsets me is how she likes to make things about her, and how jealous she gets. I'm not sure she even does it intentionally but I've caught her in lies many times and I just now assume the things she tells me are half truths. Its unfortunate because DH and BIL are VERY close, and I WISH I could be closer to her,she has done this stuff so much I feel like I have to keep some distance.

I have two of those.

One is DH's sister, who had a kid at 19, does not have a job, never finished school, smoked and drank during pregnancy, has stolen, lied and manipulated everybody, but uses her kid (the only grandchild, so far) as leverage to get what she wants. My ILs (who can afford it, but that's not the point) pay everything, starting at rent, groceries, clothes, utilities, phone, gas...everything. And baby daddy, kid, her, dog and two cats live happily in their own dirt on somebody elses expense. She recently told us on a family dinner, that none of her older brothers (DH and his brother) should have kids, because her son wouldn't like that. Well, I guess he's in for a huge surprise.

Number two is BIL's wife. She is a big woman. There is nothing wrong with being overweight, but she is one of those who stuff their face with cake while they tell you how they suffer being fat. The wedding was a nightmare....the girl had to have 5 showers to get her fix of spotlight time. Everything is a competition. It's anoying. She is loud, she makes backhanded comments, she annoys the crap out of me.

Those two are so bad, that I came to appreciate my older brother's wife. She has Borderline syndrome. So the girl is certified mentally ill. She has done a lot of weird crap nobody really gets - but when she is all there, she is a nice, honest lady who does her best to do right by the people.

And yes, that is really how bad it is.
