pamommy Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 I have 6 Sister in laws and I have been married to my husband for 11 years now. Every year they have a girls only christmas party and always exclude me. I am deeply hurt by this because they invite me on girls night outs when they need a driver and when it is convient for them. I am the only sister in law as my husband is the baby of 8 and his brother is not married. I just wnat to be included. I have talked to the one about this and she always includes me in her parties and whatever but she is the only one. I can't stand going around the rest of them bacause I am hurt but my husband doesn't want to say anything. They have parties that ae adult only alot and don't invite us because we have young children. I feel like they always have an excuse. The latest thing with the girls only christmas party really is bothering me so I have decided that I will go out and buy them each a gift instead of just freaking out on everyone. I just don't know what to get them. I only want to spend about 20 to 25 each. Thia is what they do at the christmas party so I just think that it may be a suttle hint.

2sure Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 When you married their brother they gained a sister. Sadly, right now they dont seem to fel that way. Sometime people from large families act like they are their own team and no one else is invited. So far, you have handled the situation with grace. If you havent bought them XMas gifts in the past, buying them this year will certainly highlight your offense. Not that thats the wrong thing to do. Silk scarves or funky scarves. They are all over Europe for every season and finally here in the states again too. Gap has quite a few for under 30. Better yet if your city has a china town style market, they have great prices.

Author pamommy Posted December 8, 2008 Author Share Posted December 8, 2008 Thanks so much for the advice. In the past we only buy his parents a gift because buying for everyone can get expensive so that is why I thought I should handle it this way. I am so tired of being left out and I am angry, hurt, depressed and just feeling left out, I guess. Thanks again for the suggestion I will have to go look Link to post Share on other sites
