Nonexistent SIL/Aunt - am I being petty?

[Anonymous]

$10 bucks says that despite the consensus, OP is going ahead with her drama queen plans anyway because she thinks we all just don't understand.

I actually really love all my SILs and my neices. They send out snap fish emails with photos literally every day. I open them maybe once a week.

Your SIL isnt looking at all your updates. Let it go and get over yourself.

Except that OP's SIL is not evil. She's just not engaged enough for OP's liking so OP wants to cut her off completely. OP is the evil one!

Maybe I'm projecting. My sister-in-law literally calls me a horrible wife and mother every time we see her (8 years younger than me, unmarried and no children).

Eventually I just removed her from our family whatsapp as the only time she would comment was to make fun of the kids' hair/clothes or her brother.

What??! She directly insults you every time?? And has no children to suggest she has experience with parenting? What kinds of things is she complaining about? Tell us more.

I’m really laughing at the “point blank” thing. Maybe that poster could bring it up!

OP, maybe try to reach out to SIL to repair the relationship. Otherwise, start a separate WhatsApp thread just for your kid-related posts, and use the other thread for all other communications. I get why you’d be hurt that she ignores your kids.

Ahahahaha, really enjoying the consensus on this crazy thread!

We are now in a family whatsapp chat because DH and I didn't participate in family photo sharing on Facebook. DH has two siblings with kids who send pics in the group chat all the time. We occasionally share pics of DD - only 'occasionally' because we're busy and also recognize my parents-in-law are the only ones really keen on the pics! Sometimes I'll spam the grandparents separately with lots of photos.

I don't mind DH's siblings sharing so many pics of their kids on the family chat. I've put the chat on mute! I love my nephews and niece but I don't need regular updates. I just look forward to seeing them in person. But it is nice to have photos of nephews/niece to hand to show DD and other family members.

Are there a lot of folks out there who mistakenly think “point blank” means the same as “period” and “end of story”? I feel like it must just be one ignorant poster who concludes her posts with this hilarious “point blank period” nonsense but maybe there are many such people out there.

Dumba** there are periods between the words, so there are three different thoughts. You are stupid.

That . . . doesn't matter. Point blank doesn't mean what you think it means.

You are being petty and should let this go.

I wouldn't take that bet. OP is convinced removing her SIL from the group will protect her DCs' 'privacy'.

I doubt your SIL cares.

Don’t post ANYTHING anywhere, don’t even email it, if you aren’t cool with it on a billboard in Times Square

As for your Sil, you are defiantly ridiculous

OP here. It's not an FB group. It's WhatsApp. I don't care that she doesn't respond etc. I just don't really see why she should know so many details about them when I don't share that with others.

Huh? But you ARE sharing with others.

[Anonymous]

WhatsApp is owned by Facebook. When you share on WhatsApp, you are giving Facebook the info. It’s cute you didn’t realize that, thinking you are somehow keeping it private by using WhatsApp instead.
