My SIL is the worst

[Anonymous]

She never called to wish either of my DCs happy birthday (both have June birthdays) and she didn't bother to call my DH on his birthday yesterday. My DH always calls to wish her kids happy birthday, calls her on her birthday, and called her the other day to make sure everyone was okay when he saw on facebook that they were in a fender bender.

I know its not my place to say anything to her, and I won't, but just wanted to rant.

Birthdays are tough. Some people are great about cards and calls. Other people just aren't that organized. If forgetting birthdays is her only flaw, I would move on.

I'm going to need more than that to put my judgey pants on.

+1. Honestly I am really terrible with birthdays, even within my immediate family. A lot of the time, the Facebook notifications save me with my friends.

Sorry, I agree with OP. she sounds very self centered.

Yeah, but I'm not convinced that she's "the worst"! Takes something much worse than that for me to agree on that label.

Yeah, I'm assuming that was hyperbole based on the "rant."

Some very good people forget birthdays. Some very good people don't like talking on the phone.

Meant to add this sentence: Neither of these is a character flaw.

She's the worst because she doesn't treat birthdays the way YOU think they should be treated? Honey, you don't know 'worst'.

Get over it

You sound very high maintenance

I agree. I personally don't think my kids' birthdays or my own are that big a deal.

My family doesn't put a huge deal on birthdays. We weren't brought up thinking the world revolves around us on that one day, and we don't get upset when someone misses a phone call. It's a nice way to go through life -- not getting so mad over minor things.

If that's all she does, she's nowhere near the worst. Some people just aren't big into birthdays.
