[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, they have nerve suggesting something for which the burden would have fallen mainly on you and then being mad when you gave your response. What they were mad at is that you didn’t agree to their plan. That’s unreasonable. But maybe your tone was testy because you were pissed by their suggestion?[/quote]

OP. Yes, they were mad because I didn't agree to their plan. More importantly they were mad because for the first time in the 22 years since I had married into their family, I openly said NO to a family matter - one that would affect our household.

All those years my SILs have never shown any interest in our life and my attempts to form a closer bond with them were ignored. So yes, I was pissed by their their suggestion.[/quote]

I hear you, OP. It is nearly impossible to be liked by your husband's sisters or mother (I'm surprised to hear your MIL likes you--you must be doing something right). The first time I finally said no to my MIL after 25 years of marriage, she and FIL got in the car, she told him she was having a heart attack, and spent the night in the hospital. To this day, she claims--though never to me, only to my husband, his sisters, and cousins--that I caused her to have a heart attack. And I could not care less. They spend much less time with us, mostly because she found out I know about her ridiculous claim and she's embarrassed, which is fine by me![/quote]
