[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]OP here. She ALWAYS does things like this. Usually we ignore her and pay her no heed. However [b]sometimes we can't help but respond[/b].[/quote]

This is as much BS as your "you should be proud....." comment.  [b]Of course, you can 'help' responding. [/b] You choose not to and, thereby, escalate and prolong the drama.

And, who the hell dishes out food to everyone?  What's up with that?[/quote]

Exactly.  I agree with the PP who said that a family holiday with someone you see only a few times a year is precisely the time to suck it up.  You don't need to stand up for yourself, you don't need to engage in tit-for-tat, you don't need your husband to "support" you.  Just ignore it.  Don't feed the drama.  Focus on the family members you do get along with.  Your SIL is obnoxious, you're not going to change that, and it doesn't matter.  Let it go.  [/quote]

eh, MIL could have taken her baby to the side and had a word with her and asked her to play nice.  Apparently that has not happened.  Op said the in-laws don't like her much.  It's not Op's job to offer herself up for abuse on the holidays.  The answer may be to simply spend less time with them.  Try every other year or shorten the visits to a more doable time frame.
