On my hubbys side, the one with the money lives in New Jersey, the nicer one lives in Illinois (they have a greenhouse business), and the step sister and half sister live here in town for the moment.
On my side, the better of the two lives in town and the evil one lives just 4 miles from me in the country, only they live in a sub-division. We only see each other at the holidays which is fine. Too much drama if we see each other more.

I do try to be nice to them and I think I am, but I'm sure being tested on this one, let me tell you. Whenever the evil one was pulling her attitude, I use to tell her "keep it up, we still haven't voted you in the family yet." It always gets a laugh, but HEY I WAS SERIOUS!!! LOL

It IS HARD to be nice and friendly all of the time!! The younger sil always knows it better, can do it better, has better, and oh you can't beat her, she has the nicest of everything. She WILL let everyone know how much they payed for everything URGH!!! I couldnt care less what she has and how much she has. She loves to lie, and i have a serious problem with people that can't tell me the truth, so now my husband keeps me well away from her TG, and i don't miss her one bit! My older sil and i always used to make fun of her, and i used to laugh in her face, specially after having a few drinks

It is hard being nice. VERY HARD, would probably be a little easier if I actually liked them. I just know I love my brothers so that helps. My evil SIL still asks others in the family a lot of questions so she can try to "one up" them, but when she starts asking me questions, I just smile and ask why she wants to know...LOL She never knows what to say... Sometimes she'll say "just curious" and I'll tell her that's what killed the cat!!!

Oh I can't stand my brother's wife! She has totally changed him and we don't see them much at all. She is just the biggest bitch I've ever met!
My husband's sister is okay. She used to be worse. One year she sent a Christmas card to us but my name wasn't even on it! But in her defense she is a lot nicer now. I think she used to have this impression that I took her brother away from their family but I guess she realized it wasn't true. |

I think as time goes on and they realize we're not the enemy, then they (SIL) calm down a little. But a couple of mine just were not nice ever so they'll never change.

I guess some people will never change, they are so set in their ways and beliefs, and that's ok too, they are who they are

My SIL lives in Florida with my MIL and I totally LOVE her. She was in the army and is a vet of the first Gulf War. She is small and thin but she can kick a@@ if she needs to. She is a very strong, independent woman and totally my hero. She even gives me advice sometimes on how not to spoil her brother and make him pull his weight around the house.

I have one actual sister-in-law and haven't seen her in 3 years. She's nice, but complains a lot. After reading most of your posts, I think I'm pretty fortunate.

I have three sil's.
My brother's wife is awesome. We are absolutely nothing alike, but she's very sweet and she's a wonderful mother. I really like spending time with her (the one or two times a year they're in town). The only thing I'll say about my husband's sisters, is I'm sure THEY'D have some choice things to say about me if they were on here!
