[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I really have to agree with the MYOB comment., especially with respect to your MIL.  My MIL has a great relationship with me and a not-so-great relationship with my SIL.  If your DH wants to say something on behalf of his brother and SIL, let him, but I would strongly recommend you staying out of things (and not even be present if your DH says something).  I know you want the best for your SIL, but what if what you say offends your MIL?  [b]The result is that you won't have helped your SIL at all, and you will have jeopardized your own relationship with your MIL[/b].[/quote]

I would have to agree with this and would not risk getting involved.  What you can do is be a sounding board for your SIL and let her know that when MIL says things to piss her off, she can call you to vent instead of creating a war with MIL.  Utimately, I think that your BIL has to be the one to stand up to his mother on behalf of his family.  My mother was very judgemental about the choices that my brother and SIL made and I just found it best to stay out of it, listen and nod to both sides and act as neutral as possible.    [/quote]
