[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, this is on you.  Unless you've been married forever and have a super close relationship with your SILs, you should have kept your mouth shut about their mother.  Whatever you said in that text could easily have just been said to your husband in private.

You blew it.  You failed Being A Smart IL 101.[/quote]

We've been married for 24 years. I am on the family group text and my SIL asked a direct question. What's the point of being on a group text if one isn't allowed to express their opinion? It's only an opinion after all, not a summons.

I should have kept my mouth shut ... but what about BIL? He's a BIL, not a son.[/quote]

I’m a pp and I have uncles who still don’t comment after over 50 years ‘in’ the family. Just because you’re in the group chat (or even in person having a group conversation) you still don’t criticize. Is this the first time you’ve done this in 24 years? And to compare your relationship to the family to your DH BILs is meaningless. You two are different people/ personalities and I’m sure say different things to different people. OP you messed up on this one. [/quote]

OP here. Yes, it was the first time in 24 years that I expressed an opinion on a family matter. I usually keep my opinions on such things to myself.

The reason I spoke out this time (well by text) is that this family matter would have affected me and DH - our household.[/quote]
