[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]On Sunday my brother and other SIL2 came over.  My husband and brother were playing games in the other room.  We started talking about SIL1 bday party and SIL2 says that it was a very nice party and she could tell we put some thought into the presents.  I said we wanted her party to be special.  She then said something that shocked me.  She said that my sister and I did not go all out for her 30th bday party and that does not surprise her.  I'm like your husband and sister planned your party.  I'm like if you have something to say just say it.  SIL2 said she was not going to make an issue of it but my sister and I put way more thought into SIL1's presents than we do hers.  She then referenced one of the high end makeup palettes we got for SIL1 and she said we would never get her anything like that.  She said the whole room could tell who the favorite SIL was.  [b]This upset me.  I told her she was not the center of the universe and to grow up.  I went upstairs. [/b] My brother texted me and asked for "my side".  [b]I told him his wife was out of line and needed to get over her jealousy.[/b][/quote]

So basically what happened was that your SIL came over, and in a conversation about the party that was just you and her, she mentiond that it was a nice party and remarked that you didn't plan a similarly nice party for her birthday. She mentioned that you and your sister prioritize presents for your other SIL and gave an example. Your response to her raising this concern with you directly and privately was to essentially flip out, insult her, and stomp out, and then again to insult her via her husband.

What did you get your other SIL? Why did you react so explosively to a person privately expressing that they were hurt by your actions? It's not like she called you out in front of everyone.[/quote]
