[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] MIL already raised her own snotty, over privileged daughter (my SIL) [/quote]

Is your husband snotty and over privileged too ?

If Grand MaMa is so wealthy, why doesn't she hire some help for you ?

I don't believe your MIL said that.  I expect royalty thinking that way or someone filthy rich like gin raisin Mama T Heinz but not regular wealthy.

She definitely said it! She's not even that rich. Solidly upper middle class though she has "aspirations," especially for SIL who was taught that she needed to marry rich - perhaps why she can't find a husband, she only dates Wall Street traders who keep dumping her for younger women. There was a double standard in their house growing up - SIL was "too good" for things that were "good enough" for DH (public schools, summer jobs, etc.) DH alternates between being embarrassed by her and defending her for not knowing any better (never worked, socializes with the country club set, always trying to appear she has more money than she does). If DD was a boy I doubt she'd talk to her like that, but since she's a girl, MIL already envisions her as some sort of princess/debutante who will fulfill all MILs fantasies about the money and privilege she herself never had. She's nuts! Sometimes I feel badly for her but mostly she just annoys the crap out of me.[/quote]
