NP. Yes. It doesn't have to be anything expensive. Just something to remember a loved one by. You're self centered and selfish. |
Also you’re such a hypocrite for shaming this DIL for asking for a piece of her MIL’s jewelry meanwhile you yourself did the very same thing to your SIL that this SIL is asking for. So obviously if you gave your SIL some of your late mother’s jewelry this isn’t an out of the ordinary thing to happen so that’s probably why DIL asked for ONE piece of jewelry. She didn’t demand it she asked. |
The way people act after a death is who they are. I hope SIL and OP's brother remembers this behavior going forward. Stress reveals the cracks in our personalities. OP has a big one. |

DP here. Based on OP's post, I would guess OP is perpetuating a lie (to whomever who will listen!) that SIL is as bad as OP is! |
+1 OP has more than one crack in her personality, that is for sure. |
+1. Agree. Starting to wonder if MIL was afraid of SIL - SIL seems like a bully, trying to dismiss DIL's existence. Would love to hear from DIL's DH - probably some juicy tidbits about SIL! |
SIL = OP |
He’d give it to his wife. |
Well OP you clearly weren’t going to offer. |
I'm a DIL of over 20 years and my DH has one sister. I wouldn't ask for any of my MILs jewelry. It does feel a little tacky to me. |
What do you think your Mom would want you to do? Would she want you to further damage your relationship with your brother (her son) and his wife? Is this who she taught you to be? |
Your brother deserves half the jewelry. |
If I were you, I would've given her something without asking. If I were your SIL, I wouldn't ask. If I were your mother, would've given her something while ai was alive. That being said, if your mom left jewlry to you and didn't say anything about giving any piece to her and she doesn't have children, you aren't obliged to give because she asked. If you've a nephew, it would be nice to give a small piece to your SIL, asking her to wear it and pass it to her DIL when time comes. |
You don’t get to keep all of it just because you have a vag. Your brother should get half of it, he can give it to his wife. |
