[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you don't like her to begin with.  She went to take a picture of you.  She did not know you were in a moment of crisis.  She's not a bitch just because she went to snap a pick of you and coincidentally you were having a bad moment.  For god's sake, you sound so high maintenance.[/quote]

Obviously you guys have history. But don't go looking for a fight. There's really no point. Leave it alone. In this moment, she didn't do anything wrong.[/quote]

Agreed!

I completely disagree with the PP who thinks she wants your attention and admires you. What? Do you have siblings? Sisters? Live on planet earth and regularly interact with humans?

Like to take random photos of people, especially family photos. People are too posed and instagram perfect these days. it's nice to have photos of people as they are.
I wouldn't bring it up to your DH, he might support you, but it's likely it will turn into some big family thing, and more often than not daughters trump sons and DILs

She did not take your picture as requested.  Maybe her laughing wasn't malicious, but her attempt to show she meant no harm by the photo.
Just try to let it go OP.
I hope your grandmother continues to do well.[/quote]

PP here and I DO have a younger sister and lots of younger female cousins. People don't always wear their feelings on their sleeve and this girl may actually like her SIL but be put off by the SIL's obvious dislike of her or bitchy demeanor in general. SIL may have a reputation in DH family she's unaware of. Some of my younger cousins have acted strange and a little shady toward me at first to feel me out (I'm the family scapegoat and known as a major bitch because of my direct and honest manner) until I was friendly and welcoming toward [i]them[/i]. I've had to look them in the eye and enforce boundaries but also let them know there was no reason to cause a problem with me. SIL was obviously following her SIL around to catch her alone on the phone. I don't think it was to terrorize and catch her looking bad on a picture. Maybe, but it could be that she wants to connect with her outside of the family dynamic at play.

Just a differing opinion...[/quote]

Fair enough.
It's true we only have OP's side of the story.
For all we know SIL went inside to use the toilet or grab a snack and happened on OP and spontaneously  decided on a picture.[/quote]
