[quote=Anonymous]Op there will be people that will tell you its family, that's what family do, put up with it for family. No you don't have to be treated poorly by anyone. Dysfunctional relationships rarely get better. I think you need to sort out what works for you. Definitely learn to be assertive and call them out straight away. Don't rely on Dh to stand up for you, he won't see it. Limit contact. See if changing things works for you. Perhaps see MIL by herself without SIL there. Have dinner at a restaurant, not at MILs house, so somewhere neutral. Drop the mid week drop in's, let DH handle those. Perhaps go for important events only. Let Dh take the kids sometimes while you relax at home and other times DH goes alone. Find what works for you. The big thing is to not take the snarky little comments, call them out straight away, politely but firmly. Perhaps it may be something that you see them separately so they don't gang up and act with mean girl behaviour.[/quote]
