Brother’s Wife Asked for a piece of Jewlery

[Anonymous]

My mother passed away and my brother’s wife had the audacity to ask for a piece of her jewelry. I’m fuming mad! I can’t belie an in law would dare ask for a piece of their MIL’s jewelry . I told my brother how wrong that is and he said they been married for 20 years and she grew close to her. I could see asking for jewelry if they had a daughter for my mother’s granddaughter but not for her DIL. While I understand that they were close the fact of the matter that wasn’t her mother and she has actual daughters who are blood related to her.

I’m close to my MIL but I have class and would rather die than ever ask for something of hers when she passes. My husband has a sister and that’s her mother I would never get in the way of that.

I can’t believe my brother isn’t gaining a back bone with this.

Gross, on your part. It was your brother's mom too. Why so greedy?

My MIL gave me a piece of her jewelry before she died as did her mother. Fake outrage.

You sound horrible and insane.

My mother died and my dad gave me a bag of jewelry. I went through it with my SIL and asked her if she wanted anything. She tried some stuff on. She wasn’t even close with my mom. It’s just stuff. We’re basically sharing it.

You want that jewelry, don’t you, OP? How much is it worth?

You could really picture asking for a piece of your MIL’s jewelry even if you didn’t have a daughter (which would be MIL’s granddaughter) to pass it on to?

Especially knowing your MIL has a daughter of her own?

Right but the difference is your SIL I’m sure had class and didn’t outright ask for it.

I don’t know how much it’s worth. I don’t like the principle of what my SIL is asking. She didn’t birth or raise my SIL.

Yes, of course. I think you’re grieving HARD right now OP, and it’s making you think this thing SIL did is horrible but it’s objectively not even a little bit bad.

DP - did you expect her to write you a letter? Why are you so stingy with the jewelry? The fact that you keep throwing around the word class and you seem so hung up on material things and so ungenerous means you have little class to begin with.

Well my brother isn’t going wear the jewelry so what would he do with it? Again they don’t have any kids and don’t plan on it so it’s not like it would go to their daughter.
