[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does your husband share your feelings about her?
If I were you I would bow out of most visits, maybe only going once for every 3 visits. But it helps if you and your husband are on the same page.[/quote]

He's loyal to his mom and sister. He's a quiet person and can be rude himself. He realizes how they are treating us, but if pressed he'd just get defensive.[/quote]
Loyalty to his mom makes sense but loyalty to his sister, especially if she treats you all poorly, is problematic and doesn't bode well for you taking any big stands against her.[/quote]

Agreed. I think I'm just mad that this time she not only criticized me but my mom as well. My mom has done nothing except be generous to them. The sister in law criticized the food at the party, the conversation which she did not bother to contribute to, and then told my mom she was offended by the way my mom offered to take a photo of their family and how they didn't sit the way she wanted us to at the communion. She's just an unhappy critical person. My mom also has been alone some Christmases because they insist that we visit them at Christmas. So it's hard to justify to my mom why we spend Christmas with them other than they are just so much more needy and demanding. We live near my mom though so I think my mom is ok with it. They are of course jealous of that fact although I have no idea why they'd want to spend more time with us.[/quote]
