[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not quite sure how this is a huge problem when you only see them once or twice a year...you can't suck it up and deal with her being bitchy twice a year for the sake of your relationship with your brother?  I'd suck it up.  If it was twice a month, well then I think you'd need a game plan...[/quote]

This.  It seems to me that once or twice a year is already limited contact.  You really can't put up with her twice a year for the sake of having a relationship with your brother?  Frankly, you're giving her way too much power.  I have an awful SIL, but I can deal with her for a few days twice a year because my husband loves his brother and wants to be able to stay in touch.

NP. It sounds like the drama is happening at holiday gatherings. In that case, I wouldn't want to deal with a grown adult acting like a toddler once or twice a year either. I prefer for my kids to have a happy Christmas experience. [/quote]

Perhaps, yeah.  I still think I'd just avoid the holidays then and see them another time.  Make your own plan for Xmas or Tday and have a different weekend ruined with the snotty 'tude.  My SIL is a nightmare (my husband's sister) and I see her regularly.  I'd LOVE to have to only see her at Xmas or Tday...[/quote]
