[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it possible that your SIL needs more help? As in, you are more capable and together than she is? I have a similar dynamic with my sister (my mom visits her 3 times for every 1 visit here, they talk every day versus me 1x per week) and it used to sting a lot. However I have become more and more aware that my mom has taken on an almost co-dependant role with my sister, from giving advice about her marriage, how she raises her children, friend issues, you name it and my sister can't make a decision without her input. Her life is very chaotic and stressed, her marriage is just okay, and her kids have some behavior issues. I have learned to be thankful that I don't need or am perceived to need that level of help/involvement. Is it possible that is going on in your scenario too?[/quote] This is the dynamic with my in laws as well.[/quote]
