Anyways my niece(my DH line) is being very mean toward me .She is 24 and I am 31(my DH is 35).So not much age diffrence and I look pretty young .I went to school very late (poor background)and had troubles finding a job ,my DH has connections in her industry(they work in same industry),so he got her a good job right after college with good starting salary.
During last time we visit her she acted entitled not even towards me but towards DH(her uncle who helped her).She was calling me shepherd wife who only make sandwiches to her husband and told my DH that he married a woman much younger than him(only 4 years difference though)for a reason .
I was trying to keep it cool and were teasing her back ,so noone in the family noticed how hurt I was.After that I went home and deleted her from Facebook (I know immature).But I didn't know how else express my anger,just didn't .
I would appreciate any feedback good or bad of how to deal with this situation ..
Tell her you didn't need to rely on nepotism to get a job. At least you earned what you have.

Not very often.But I was really trying to be a good aunt and develop close relationship with her.I guess it's not in my cards.
Yeah, don't try to force a relationship with her.
Do you work or are you a SAHM?
I have small buisness on the side.But I am also looking at job openings ,it's just I don't have much experience in my field yet and sometimes I feel I am not cut for a corporate world.

OP, I would ignore her. Or I would agree with everything she says, for example:
yes, all I do is make sandwiches; would you like to learn how?
yes, I'm so much younger than my husband, that will be great when he's 95 and I'm only 91!
etc.
I would also ignore the comments on DCUM about your language, unless they can demonstrate their ability to communicate in a second language (and using Google Translate doesn't count).

Mistakes, yes, but not enough to affect your meaning. What you're saying is pretty clear. Don't worry.

Are you from a different country?
This all sounds very childish. Ignore her. Talk to your husband.
