[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I honestly don’t know who is wealthier... their house is double the cost of ours but I’m pretty sure we make more money. Even despite that, we are certainly wealthier due to our conservative nature. She’s a mostly SAHM. I work full time in a leadership position. Both our kids are great ... my niece was more high maintenance when she was younger but they are pretty much the same now. Both of our husbands are awesome, but mine is far more involved as a father, probably due to the fact I work so he has to be.

I truly don’t think it’s jealousy... I really think she views me as fat and poor. ?[/quote]

How far apart in age are you and your sister?  My DDs are very good at seeing whatever the other gets and being convinced that her sister is getting more/has an easier life, etc.  Seems like perhaps you and your sister have not outgrown this dynamic?  You think she views you as fat and poor.  She probably thinks you view her as lazy (SAHM v. leadership position) or something like that.  Sibling jealousies sometimes make no sense and/or have deep roots that no one who just met you today would guess at.  If you can't get to a mature, adult view of each other, then then PPs have given you good tips for how to deal with someone who's mean and always picking at you.
