[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Good lord yes, you're overreacting.  ALso, who cares that your baby is the first in the family?  In what way is that relevant AT ALL?

It’s relevant because SIL wears the pants and prioritizes seeing her own family over BIL’s family and now his new nephew. Apparently I’m alone, but I think she is rude as hell, get I also think the MIL who didn’t respond to the text from the other thread is rude too and most people didn’t.[/quote]

Well, I don't walk around primed to take offense.  It's clear that you don't like your SIL, which is coloring your view of the situation.  Your BIL is a grown man, and is just as responsible for the decision not to prioritize his family as his wife is.  I have a SIL that I dislike, and she has definitely pushed her husband (my husband's brother) to spend less time with his family, but you know what?  He goes along with it, fully.  Another brother's wife was similar, but he told her that his family was important to him, and he was going to visit with or without her, and she realized he meant it, and now she fully participates in his family's events.  The "wicked SIL" only gets away with it because the actual brother doesn't care enough to push back.

If your SIL is rude, then so is your BIL.  They equally committed, and are equally backing out.  [/quote]

This is OP and I agree with everything you wrote. If I am singling her out I guess it’s because we were close to BIL before he married SIL, and this is not her first time agreeing to things and changing for more “desirable” plans. But you’re right it’s BIL too. Just have to accept it as you say and move on.[/quote]
