[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How old is she?
Honestly, it does not sound that bad, but then I did not experience this as you did.
As PP said, your SIL perhaps tried to save face for her sister by praising her gift and not yours. Also keep in mind one very important truth: you can't buy love! Your SIL does not know how much you can afford or not afford, so a huge gift might not make her particularly grateful. It could even embarrass her if she thinks she cannot respond in kind.

As for the wedding placement, I know it was awkward for you, but could it have been an oversight or cluelessness?

I'm sure I must have made some social mistakes when I married into DH's family at 23, and I'm glad nobody held it against me.

Just back off a little. She may change.[/quote]

She is 27. Funny you say that she doesn't know what we can afford. She is always telling me what I can afford.
When we were looking at houses, there was a house up for sale, it was  close to a million and she acted shocked when I said there was no way I could afford it. She said " of course you can afford it". Our spouses are business partners. She obviously thinks he is richer than he is or maybe she is comfortable with a massive mortgage.

Also she asked how big diamond was, and stupidly I told her. Then she told BIL her ring had to be bigger than mine. I found that odd. She also had bought the same car and furniture we have.[/quote]

I'm the poster you quoted and I recant - she sounds awful!!! BUT, like PP said, just be the bigger person in all this, stay polite and aloof, and do not engage.[/quote]
