[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You nailed it OP: he is jealous of your family and he did not have a good role model in his own family to encourage in-law relationships. My BIL has always looked down his nose at our family. We weren't rich or smart enough to get his respect, even though he claims not to be materialistic or a snob. His mother always fostered relationships with her side of the family but criticized the father's side. Now my nephews are doing the same. I blame my sister for letting him get away with it. She stood passively by and let him criticize her and us and spend their family time with his extended family. [/quote]

See this is why I don't want to stand by passively. But I'm just not sure what to do. I have expressed my anger, I have expressed my hurt feelings, I have told him flatly to stop. He always apologizes for hurting my feelings, but it continues. I really don't want him trying to control the family dynamic in this way. My family is also a lot more intelligent than his side, but they have more money. My cynical side can't help but think if my family had more money he would be super nice to them. I need help on how to stop this. [/quote]
