[quote=Anonymous]Look, I have this SiL, but we are the "rich" ones in this scenario. Look, they now do well for themselves, but less for some years. DH and her had a very affluent childhood and I don't think she necessarily had considered what she and her DH would need to do live somewhat similarly. For a time she thought their parents would underwrite it. That said, once she understood they were on their own, she has been very focused on generating the most she can from what she can. She still can't help herself though.

Here are some of the highlights:

* "It's so unfortunate that our kids do not have cousins. It's all that they want and we can't give it to them." (said during year 3 of our fertility treatments)
* "I have to make the consequential decision if we are going to just turn our backs on my fertility and not have a third kid. This is huge. People write books about this." (also said during year 3 of our fertility treatments) 
* "I can't believe she served sandwiches on white bread to the kids." (said when we left our neighborhood friends, who had just hosted an Easter Egg hunt. My friend served the sandwiches on white bread as SiL's kids only ate pasta and butter for lunch/dinner at the time as my friend had witnessed on more than one occasion - SiL would often ask me to add pasta/butter to the meal so her DCs would have something to eat)
* "how is bonding going with your DCs given that you WOH? Can't imagine it's easy." (we don't have the kind of relationship where such a topic would ever be broached)

There are so many others, but lots would be incriminating. I've really never known someone who isn't in elected office or a successful entrepreneur in the 8 digits who is as uninterested in people other than herself, husband, or own children. [/quote]
