[Anonymous]

Well done, OP. Well done.

Just a small update. Christmas ended up being a very enjoyable event. Everyone brought their dish and it was so nice to have such a variety of items. It was even suggested we do potlucks on future holidays. Most everyone gave kudos to my brother for suggesting it. All of this was said in front of SIL and the family knew nothing about the email she sent me.

SIL only said hi and bye to me which was just fine with me. My brother said she knows she was out of line and I will not be receiving anymore messages from her. He thanked me for not sharing the incident with the rest of the family. There was no drama and I could not have asked for a better holiday.

Liar.

Haha cute.

Why would a person bump a 2 week old thread to tell everyone how everything went perfectly in their favor?
Someone is telling ducktales.

If not why would she think people care about this innocuous episode of family drama? Because OP sounds every bit llike the SIL you all like to complain about. The one who is too involved with her brother and has zero boundaries.

I do wish we could hear SIL side of the story.

YEs, good job oP!

You showed your SIL who is boss and that you're still your brothers #1 girl. Blood before anything. Your SIL is replaceable and she should know her place. Bravo!

The bolded stands out to me. Had you done this before? Why would he think you would share this with the others? Or how would he know you didn't?

Because op is a drama queen sister who regularly interferes between her brother and his wife.
