SunkistGirl Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 So my Monster in Law. doesnt like me. makes it a point. BUT... She keeps buying things that I have and I mean EXACT match. I bought this Polka Dot Hard case wallet. Now she has it. I bought this Nifty Water Bottle. Now she has it. Jerserys & Tops.. she has now too Same Purse. And everything I seem to have she has now too.. and she'll leave it out for me to see she has it too. To me its annoying just cause she doesnt even like me I feel like maybe shes showing off she can have it not just me? or Idk How should I react to this and my Sister in law is the same. she'll even text me and ask me what im wearing in advance before we have a family get together just so she can try an dress better than me.. or like me. And other contact with me is to tell me she just got something or went somewhere. never just a hello or nething like that.. Link to post Share on other sites
Author SunkistGirl Posted April 30, 2011 Author Share Posted April 30, 2011 It seems kind of creepy like your mother-in-law is trying to be you in order to woo her son back. Did the sister-in-law have a sister when she was growing up? yeah oober creepy.. She was the only daughter 3 brothers but one is Gay and Very FEM like even more than her. Me and her are 3 months apart. Link to post Share on other sites
Vitai Slade Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 I'd be annoyed. It sounds like she's trying to constantly '1-up' you just to prove she's better. At the same time, I'd say let her try because you're the one going out and being creative with your style. She's just mimicking you. It's pathetic, really. Link to post Share on other sites
Chrissie Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Just an idea, but I've always found that killing people with kindness works every time. (Try this once) Even though it's the last thing you would ever think of doing, find out what your monster in law enjoys doing, or a small item she likes and surprise her for just (Choke) sorry...a because you care or an I love you gift. You could mention that later on something like you would of never enjoyed going to that movie or shopping or whatever on your own; However going with her it made your day really fun! If you get her a small gift, just say I would never buy that for myself, but it's perfect for you; if I ever run across one again-you can have it! This works for any family member, even a sibling. All you get out of it are better relationships. Link to post Share on other sites
dreamingoftigers Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 I personally think that it is her messed up way of connecting with you, or something about you that she actually likes. Link to post Share on other sites
