[quote=Anonymous]OP - you need to step back and see how obnoxious you are to your SIL2.  Just from your first post, this is what I read:

you two were talking privately.  She said she could tell we put some thought into the presents.  She didn't yell, argue or anything.  Your response?
"We wanted her party to be special"  meaning - you're letting SIL2 know that SIL1 is getting the extra special treatment.
She said you didn't go all out for her 30th.  Your response?  "your DH and sister planned it.  If you have something to say, just say it."  That sentence right there is aggressive, antagonistic and setting the other person up for a fight.

Then, the kicker:  SIL2 even goes so far as to say she doesn't want to make an issue of it, (but probably since you demanded she "just say it') she mentions the great gifts and how you'd never do the same for her and it's clear she's the favorite.

Let's not forget she specifically said she doesn't want to make an issue of it.  What do you do?

You told her she was not the center of the universe and to grow up. stomp off and tell her husband that SHE is out of line and needed to get over her jealousy.

You seriously need to apologize to your SIL2.  Big time.

Maybe acknowledge that you're closer to the other SIL and that you are sorry that it was hurtful for her to see that.  But WTH, OP.  You're mean.[/quote]
