[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the first step would be to try and accept who she is and the type of person she is.  From your post, it sounds like you are really conflicted.  On the one hand you say you've made many attempts and you had dreams of becoming her friend.  On the other, you start listing a bunch of her characteristics about her that you don't like (indulgent mother, gift registry, buying her kids xmas gifts right before xmas, and changing plans with you for lame reasons).  You're even already mad at something she hasn't even done yet, but you expect her to do (return your gift).  I'm not saying all this to flame you, just as an obviously unbiased reader.  If you really truly want to be her friend, you need to accept her flaws and give her the benefit of doubt.  Otherwise, you'll always be pointing out all her negatives and never seeing the positives she has to offer.  You can't change who she is, but you can change the way you view her.  [/quote]

This is OP.  Thank you.  I needed your post.  I think I like the dream of having a SIL and this is just not what I expected.  I will try to change the way I view her and stop trying to make her into something she isn't.[/quote]
