What does your SIL or BIL do that bugs you but really only bugs you. For example, my SIL who doesn't yet hav a child always talks about how she won't let her kids get away with this or that and I always feel like she is taking shots at my parenting. Who knows if she really is but it still bugs me.

SIL has a DD who is 8 & about 80 lbs.  They have been dealing with weight issues with her since she was about 4 - and nothing is helping.  They even took her to a dietitian last year.  Part of it is that she is build exactly like her Dad & her Paternal Grandma.  No amount of dieting/exercise is going to chage her genetics.

SIL pushes her DD to drink diet soda, crystal light, etc.  I hate to be a party pooper, but I would REALLY prefer for my kids not to have diet sodas. 

She has become the food police for her DD even though she is not her desired size either.

That she refers to my children as her kids. "Oh, I miss my kids"

She has convinced DD that they are sisters. (she lived with us for a while)

She lied about a fight we supposedly had.

SIL #1- Neat freak to the extreme. Told my 2 yo not to touch her walls (his hands were clean, he was using the wall to get down the stairs without falling)...She also acted like she didn't want me to pump my boobs in her bedroom...er, would you like me to do it in your bathroom? Awkward.

SIL #2- She and her husband make well over 6 figures and are always complaining about how much things cost, generally acting cheap. She gets massages at least monthly, has a house cleaner, etc. but when my son turned 1, he got a book that went to an electronic reader that he didn't own, and some used shoes. For real?

BIL- Makes comments about how hectic our lives look with 2 kids, how he can't believe we want a 3rd, how he can barely handle the 1 he has now, and says thats why he got a job overseas and isn't home much...and then later that night they announce they are expecting #2. Wha???
