Default Sis in-law

While most have not-so-wonderful experiences with their mothers-in-law, there are also others who find it hard to deal with sisters-in-law. I have a friend who gets along greatly with the parents in-law but finds it so hard to deal with a sis-in-law. Seemingly, the sis in-law is so hard to please. Anyone here who had the same experience?

I have a good relationship with my sister in law. She also thinks that her mother is a bit wacked, so we get along great.

My neice is a horrible sister in law. She doesn't like my nephews wife and lets her know exactly what she thinks of her. It is to the point that she is very rude to her.

LOL, I just had to laugh at this one!! Well put antkmom.

I have a sister-in-law who, as my husband had warned me when we were getting married, can be rather moody - fine one moment and upset in the next. I have not experienced it though. Then she moved to live several states away, so we only communicate via email. She seems okay through email!

I like my sister in law a lot, but (like Lissy) I only tend to speak to her via email because we live in different countries. I do get to see her a couple of times a year and we get along just fine, at least I think we do.

I have witnessed that one's relationship with a sister-in-law can change overtime, too. My mom did not get along with her sister-in-law very well when she and dad had gotten married; for many years, they rarely communicated. Today though, they are good friends.

I think it does take time to achieve a good relationship with a sister in law. Especially if they don't live in the same town as you, it is harder to become close.

Count me in. Me and my sister-in-law get along really well. Oftentimes she would talk to me about how upset she is towards my mother-in-law. It's more like of a friendly relationship.

My relationship with my sister in law is wonderful, more like being friends and also sisters. I can talk to her about anything and I know shes there for me when i need to talk to her, and whenever she may need me I will be there for her too. Im really glad I have her in my life

Well you can say you were lucky to never see her bad moods

That is true to some extent, as my sister in law lives in another state, about 4 hours away and well we don't see much of each other but are very close. I get to talk to her on a regular basis on phone and via messenger, so maybe that makes a difference too.

How do you get along with that situation, bammer? My cousin keeps on telling me some problems with her in-laws. It seems that they are hard to please.

Yes! it is true that it is very hard to be with sis-in-laws, next to my parents-in-laws, i have my sis-in-law too, she expects me to work like a servantmaid round the clock sitting like a queen, she stays at her parents house though she is married 10yrs back, she doesn't go to her in-laws house and help them, my hubby often says i like my sister more than you and takes care of her children more than my kid here, anybody finds people in this manner? This is personal experience with like this people. My hubby stays with me nicely, i love him very much & treats him like a small kid though he is 7yrs elder to me, but he doesn't understand me, is he immatured or what? i don't know.

My sis-in-law's work is to eat , sleep & roam, no ather work.

i get along quite well with my sister in law. she's just a couple of years younger than i am, so i guess that's also a major factor as to why we get along so well. she isn't hard to please at all, and she actually also makes an effort for us to be closer as i do to her. i consider myself quite lucky when it comes to my in laws. i have no qualms about them whatsoever.

Do you think staying away from your in-laws is good? I mean, you could only get along with them once in a blue moon. Do you think they would still think bad about you?

There are some in-laws, who are bad. I think, you're just lucky if you'll find in-laws like your own family. As I could see, my cousin's in-laws are really bad at all. They make gossip about my cousin, that she had another guy. Well, it's not actually true, maybe they are doing this because their son is working abroad, and they want all the money of their son would be given to them. What do you think is the best to do with this kind of in-laws?

Why don't you try to advice your cousin to ignore her in-laws, kyles? I guess, it's just a common reaction of some in-laws, especially if their son/daughter had a work and earning a high salary.

I don't really know my sister-in-law that well. She lives in another part of the country but from what my husband tells me, she is one of the most difficult people to deal with and she is very obnoxious. Sometimes I wish I could get to know her nonetheless but I guess it won't be happening anytime soon.

Well I haven't experienced both because I am not having close relationships with my in-laws because we live far from them. Maybe that is the best way to deal in-laws problem, to leave on your own.
