05/12 Sister-in-Law from Hell?

Quote From: tobin1

In all fights/arguments it takes two. All sides are to blame, not just the SIL. I am in a family relationship where all my in-laws are here where I live and my own family is in Montana. My SIL does not like me and it creates a large strain on the whole family. I am ready to move on and let our differences be in the past. But she refuses to forgive and forget. So again it's takes both sides to make things work out. One can't just blame this SIL for all the family problems.


I agree it does take 2 to have an argument. But, because I have a SIL like the one on the show, I know sometimes ONE family member can cause a lot of trouble. The family knows how she is, and they pretty much ignore her when she starts talking about another family member. I have known her for 35 years and she is always trying to start something. I am civil to her and have always kept my distance and I have always refused to join in her gossip about other family members. And it's more than gossip, it sometimes amounts to slander. But, since we all know how she operates, we pretty much ignore her. She goes from one family member to another with gossip, gossip, gossip. She's like a pile of s***, don't stir her up she will stink worse. So, the family members avoid stirring. It's better that way.

I agree. I was from a family of six kids and when in-laws started being an addition to the family, many times things were said that was uncalled for, but it was family and it was not heard of to dismiss a family members partners. we accepted them as family and laughed them off if they were stupid at times. Looks alone will give a hint. If I had a sister in law that would annoy me personally My brother would warn her first then she is all mine. If i could not bare her any longer i would either kick her ass or avoid her.  Simple.

Now with my two daughter-in-laws, I couldn't ask for better. We all get a long great!
