[quote=Anonymous]My only sister got married a few months ago to a very wonderful man she met about 3 years ago. My sister and I are very close in age and, while we didn't always get along as kids, I've been fortunate to consider her one of my best friends for many years now. She was the maid of honor in my wedding about 5 years ago. We live near each other and get together frequently.

So here's my childish reaction...My sister is delighted to be part of her husband's family, and she has been very excitedly referring to her husband's sisters as her "new sisters," both on social media and in person. She will caption photos "my new sister [name]" or before the wedding she'd be like "only x days until we're sisters!" and....well....it bothers me that she calls them her sisters, not her sisters-in-law. As a fully grown adult, this feels like a very silly thing to have hurt feelings over. I know what our relationship and shared history is like. And her newlywed excitement isn't supposed to be about me! And I'm glad she married into a nice family that has embraced her so warmly! Maybe it's common to refer to siblings in law this way. Anyway. I would never dare make an issue of it...I just needed to confess my weird reaction so I can get over it. [/quote]
