[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Thanks for the responses.

To answer some questions,  she definitely wasn't joking.  I didn't see friend's reaction because I looked away, pretending I hadn't heard.

Friend had been doing most of the talking, with me asking appropriate questions. SIL is the one who usually dominates a conversation, so I don't think I have a reputation for talking too much.

This is probably TMI, but the friend's sister is also friends with my SIL and has always had a crush on my husband and begrudged me, so maybe that played into this.  But still..."rescue"?  Ack.  Oh well.[/quote]

i think its shitty OP, and i'm sorry.  it reminds me of my mom's experience, who grew up without siblings, and was so excited to marry into a big family, but her in-laws always treated her like an outsider even if they were nice to her face. i saw they did this with any of the in-laws, frankly they always looked down upon anyone who married their siblings (noone was good enough for their siblings.)  but my mom always had way more grace and class to sink to their level.  i'm sorry its not the family you had hoped to get, and i hope you start sending your energy towards people who deserve/appreciate it more.
