Quinch Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 I have to say it - she's a real bitch sometimes. She criticises my 5 year old nephew (her own son) in front of us, saying he's bad at making friends and pushes him too hard academically. She tries to mould him into her idea of what a boy should be instead of letting him develop in his own way/at his own pace. She's the same with my brother who does all the cooking, cleaning, etc. when he gets home from work while she does .... nothing as far as I can tell. She treats her dog better than she treats him. Now they want to adopt a kid but she doesn't want one who is coloured/disabled/too old/has 'issues'. Oh yeah, and they'll have to move to another town because she doesn't want anyone finding out that her new kid is adopted. WTF? My brother won't stand up to her but she has been nothing but bad news ever since she came into our family. She's downstairs as I type this (no doubt criticising everything in sight). I've come upstairs because I can't bear to be in the same room another minute without slapping her fat face. I just had to get this out of my system. Does anyone else have a s-i-l like this?

destination_unknown Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 Thankfully I have no SILs like this! It is really sad that she is more concerned about what people think than about the happiness of her husband, son and prospective child. Sounds like your brother and nephew are already being made to feel inadequate, while the adopted child will be made feel the same. Why dya think she is like this? I really think its true that people are nasty because of their own issues, sometimes they can change, sometimes not. Sucks in your position too because you feel like you can't interfere but really just want to slap her silly?? Link to post Share on other sites
