[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I also have a late 40s SIL never married never dated no kids, and thankfully she doesn’t visit us often as the ball is in my DHs court with managing her and he has always said, “no, I don’t really like her” lol

She has living parents. And nieces from her half brother. And cats. We will make sure she is not alone but we are not responsible for her emotional failure to thrive or the fact that she has not developed interpersonal skills as an adult. [/quote]

I have this sil. She thinks my dh owns everything we have and when she would visit, she would go through everything in our house in front of me. As in go into our bedroom and go through every drawer. She would do this in any and every room. I told her to cut it out but she ignored me. The house is my dh's in her mind.  If a piece of furniture had a scratch or there was damage somewhere in our beautiful house, she would catalog it and come to me expecting an explanation. She would also never bathe.  If she wanted to do something and we couldn't or didn't want to she would immediately call her parents and complain and they would expect me to get on the phone so they could lecture me. The day I gave birth to my first child who was premature, she called me at the hospital angry because I was doing parenting all wrong.  She lived at home with the ils until she was 40 and had no idea how to manage basic living. Her mother did everything and she never had to do anything while she lived with her parents. After I married dh, even though we both had high powered stressful jobs and I brought in more money, dh's family thought I was responsible for everything. They would come for long visits and never help with anything.

Yeah, no. She doesn't get to visit anymore. [/quote]

Neat. And completely irrelevant to the OP.[/quote]
