[quote=Anonymous]I don't hate my SIL, but we wouldn't necessarily be friends. She is the only girl, doesn't have a lot of girl friends, and we don't have a lot in common. I have tried several times, I'm sure she thinks that she has tried too, but we just don't gel. Also, I tend to get really annoyed with how awesome she thinks she is, and how much she brags about herself and her kids. And she is the only girl, so the family gushes over her as well.

But she is family, and my DH is close to her, so I suck it up. Our kids are similar ages and they love playing together, so we see them a couple of times a year. The times we see them, I just let a LOT go. If she does something super possessive with DH, or says something about the way I parent, I correct but politely. And if she is being annoying, I excuse myself to read a book somewhere else in the house.

I feel it's important to have family, so I am willing to overlook a lot so that our kids will know each other. I think that's really important. So try to remember that it's only a couple of days![/quote]
