Annoying message on Facebook from SIL

[Anonymous]

If OP was really close to SIL, then this would make sense…but they don’t have anything in common and the SIL is irritating as hell.

I would call this SIL for being entitled and trying to use you for your money. I know women like this and they think they’re being cute but it’s sickening and tone-deaf.

*call out

She asked you, you could have politely declined. Instead you tried to gossip to DH, and it backfired.

Buy something. But my kitchen is only so big and PC is full of fun stuff.

So instead of supporting OP's minimalism, you want her to buy something she doesn't need?

Chopping your own garlic is too hard for you?

NP - I hate chopping garlic. I t makes my fingers so sticky and gross.

How does spending hundreds for overpriced cookware help them to make money? It's more like a waste of money and if this woman has any real skills, she wouldn't be doing Pampered Chef as a 'business'.

+1 Just be kind and purchase 1-2 items. Not a big deal.

Nothing in it for the OP to be kind. The SIL sounds like a user.

There is a time for pressed garlic and time for chopped garlic. You must not cook much. Or well.

OP here with an update. Turns out SIL and BIL will be in town soon and chances are we will all be meeting. I will be doubly annoyed if she asks me why I haven't responded to her dumb messages in person. But we will see 😂

If your DH wants to support his sister, you don't get a say.

Read the thread. The SIL is OP’s DH’s brother’s wife. She’s nobody to anybody, except to the idiot who married her.

WTF? You have plans, OP. Ignore any solicitations. Done.

Surely you have ONE friend you could buy a gift for from Pampered Chef. 15 years ago I was hearing that their stuff was good.

Do you have kids? Well, at some point they will be selling some bullshit crap to raise money for something and you'll want SIL to buy something from them. This is how families work. Just buy something inexpensive as a gift for someone else, since you don't need anything.

Ridiculous. This isn't how families work. People should learn to be self-sufficient instead of harrassing family members.

Savage.

Did you never get a job interview from a reference from a family or friend?

Or a professional introduction?

Did you never buy girl scout cookies from a niece or cousin?

Selling girl scout cookies is literally the worst part of motherhood. My DD is super enthusiastic and wants to ask all of our friends and family. I am mortified asking anyone to buy these overpriced, crappy cookies.

Well, I'm a guy. And I take my 8 yo DD out on weekends and go door to door (not this year tho). We would spends hours out there together. I enjoyed it. And even though I bought from my daughter, I also bought from all my neices; I knew they were working hard and and wanted to support them.

Also, when I was 19, my uncle got my foot in the door for internship interview. He did it because he was my uncle.

I don't HAVE to support my nieces, and my uncle didn't HAVE to make the phone call on my behalf, but that is what healthy supportive families do.

Like others have said, buy the ice cream scoop. the worst thing that happens is that you have a fancy new ice cream scoop. But the upside is that SIL feels supported and loved

But what does this woman do to make OP feel good? Nothing.
