[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From someone with 3 sisters in law:

1) You should only do this type of thing with your own kid. I would not even do it with MY sister's kid.

She should not have yelled, but you should have apologized.

2) You should encourage your brother to support his wife and be a family unit with her. This was a hard lesson for my sisters in law  - who were not married at the time - to learn. Their brother married me and I am the mother of his children. His loyalty is and always will be with me. His mother always enouraged him to be loyal to me.

3) If you maintain a good relationship with your sister in law, she will reciprocate. When my sisters in law were acting like you and trying to make their brother pick them over me, I did not actively enourage him to have great relationships with them (but I never hindered his relationship with his family). Over time, they realized that in fact he did love me, I was not a bad person and now I go out of my way to have them be a very active and very important part of my husbands, my children and my life. They respect me as a wife and as a mother and never do things that would be against what their brother and I want for our children. Our kids love them very much and we all have a great relationship now.

Sounds like you have quite a bit of growing up to do - be careful or you may alienate your brother completely. Interestingly, I have forgiven and forgetten the way I was treated when we first got married by his sisters, but he still holds a small grudge.[/quote]

+1. OP, grow up.[/quote]
