[quote=Anonymous]How do you respond to / deal with a sanctimonious relative or inlaw? DH has 2 younger sisters, no brothers. SIL1 is 55, SIL2 is 49. DH and I are 53 and 62. SIL1 and her husband often sound sanctimonious towards us - and I'm sure to others too. In a nutshell, they often sound like this when it concerns situations relating to MIL, who is very elderly. A typical example could be the things they do for MIL, how much time they spend with her, etc. Our point of view is that it's not a competition. I don't know if 'sanctimonious' is even the correct word to describe their demeanour towards us. They sometimes talk like they know it all, and their way of doing things is the only right way. Don't know if this is relevant but the 2 SILs live in the same city as MIL. We moved away some 15 years ago. .[/quote]
