[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My family is like that. You are lucky to have your sister. I would text the SIL and say, I'd love to send gifts this year but things have been a bit difficult so we'll have to wait till things get better.[/quote] This is so much more gracious than they deserve. I would be inclined to do what the PPs suggest and either chew her out ("How dare you?") or be passive aggressive ("Thanks for the list, but at this time, I'm too busy caring for my critically ill wife and our small children, while working full time with no family support, locally or otherwise. Happy holidays!"). But knowing people like this, that would just create drama, so my real world advice is just to ignore. If you feel the need to chew her out later, lord knows this tidbit will keep. For years, if necessary.[/quote]
