So many giveaways from the troll.
Well, if I was trolling I certainly got a lot of responses.
Congratulations op. Troll successful. Do you feel good about yourself now? What went wrong? Your brother grew up to be wildly successful and make a shit ton of money? Were you a failure to launch kid or something? Why aren't you well off? Maybe some different life choices would have led you to being able to stay home with your children too.
1. Nothing went wrong
2. No, I was not a failure to launch
3. I am not well off because, though I make decent money, I live in a very expensive area. Interestingly, if my taxes this year can be believed, I am very wealthy!
4. Just fine with my life choices!
You think I am a troll, yet you are trolling me. Kind of ironic don't you think? I bet you are just like SIL: a big know it all who is obsessed with how others see them. I also bet you are 200+
Somebody doesn't agree with you so they must be FAT? Who is really the judgmental mean girl here? Your sister in law has your number and delights in needling you, clearly.
1. No, doesn't have to be. It's just a coincidence in your case.
2. Yeah I suppose I can be mean when deliberately provoked. I have no issue with that.
3. Maybe she does. You don't though
Just know that when you're pointing the finger at someone else, there are three pointing back at you. You have completely outed yourself here.
I don't know about THAT. I am pointing a finger at you though. Guess which one?
I love that your SIL gets your goat so easily. And random strangers on the internet. It's so easy.

Didn’t read whole thread, but know a version of this woman. Very judgmental, especially about colleges. Her son was only going to William and Mary or UVA. Anything else wasn’t good enough for her son. Well son graduated high school, and now goes to community college- not that there is anything wrong with that. It’s just funny considering the source.

I ran your post through ChatGPT and asked it to switch genders. Here is what it spit back.
My sister is very well off, and she married a very handsome man. He is nice enough at times, but he doesn't work - will never work - has a nanny for their two kids, and appoints himself as the king of the dads. He actually has a group of friends who meet at a sports bar every morning, usually after the gym, and critique everyone else's kids.
Amongst the pearls of wisdom he has dropped are:
A dad who works (I work) loses critical time with his children that he can never get back (remember, he has a maid despite no job).
If you simply raise your kids properly, they will never be tempted by drugs or alcohol or any of the other teen pitfalls.
Public education is "too woke." His kids go to a private school, but he made sure it's one of the really ritzy ones. We all kind of think that he does that for appearances amongst the neighbors.
One should never buy anything on credit.
Only certain colleges will be acceptable for his children - Ivies and UVA, for example.
His child's football coach, a volunteer, has no idea what he is doing.
He needs a high-end car and he needs to switch it up every couple of years, so every few years they lease a new car - Mercedes, Lexus, Porsche - because he "can't be seen" in a more economical car.
His kids can only eat organic food. If you aren't feeding your kids organic food, you are knowingly putting your kids at risk.
He believes that a real man should always be physically fit and spends hours at the gym every day.
He is judgmental, and just really arrogant. Sorry, I suppose I am just venting, and before anyone says it, I AM a bit jealous of their money, but I also think you don't have to act the way he does just because of it.
Chat GPT makes the male version of the wife in your scenario sound like a deadbeat, narcissistic freeloader.

Lower your envy and criticism index, not only you'll feel better but your brother and his wife will also feel your positive vibes instead of hot rays of negativity and be more considerate towards you.

I would just chortle every time she comes out with a gem. Her inactivity and ignorance is really your brother's problem.
She is only in a karma vortex for now; when real life hits she will be vastly unprepared.

Look, I have this SiL, but we are the "rich" ones in this scenario. Look, they now do well for themselves, but less for some years. DH and her had a very affluent childhood and I don't think she necessarily had considered what she and her DH would need to do live somewhat similarly. For a time she thought their parents would underwrite it. That said, once she understood they were on their own, she has been very focused on generating the most she can from what she can. She still can't help herself though.
Here are some of the highlights:
* "It's so unfortunate that our kids do not have cousins. It's all that they want and we can't give it to them." (said during year 3 of our fertility treatments)
* "I have to make the consequential decision if we are going to just turn our backs on my fertility and not have a third kid. This is huge. People write books about this." (also said during year 3 of our fertility treatments)
* "I can't believe she served sandwiches on white bread to the kids." (said when we left our neighborhood friends, who had just hosted an Easter Egg hunt. My friend served the sandwiches on white bread as SiL's kids only ate pasta and butter for lunch/dinner at the time as my friend had witnessed on more than one occasion - SiL would often ask me to add pasta/butter to the meal so her DCs would have something to eat)
* "how is bonding going with your DCs given that you WOH? Can't imagine it's easy." (we don't have the kind of relationship where such a topic would ever be broached)
There are so many others, but lots would be incriminating. I've really never known someone who isn't in elected office or a successful entrepreneur in the 8 digits who is as uninterested in people other than herself, husband, or own children.

She’s 100% right they the kids soccer coach knows nothing?
If she’s so smart and rich Op, why are her kids wasting time in rec soccer program with parent commuter coaches and not in an ECNL team with professional paid coaches?
HA! Now that is funny. Actually, my youngest is on an ECNL team and I think it makes her mad. She always makes it seem like her daughter would be on the USWNT if it weren't for the rec coach. He derailed her daughter's ascent to the upper echelon of soccer
Probably not nearly as mad as you are about her. She must love to see you squirm so easily. What doesn't set you off?
Well, a lot of things don't set me off. Getting trolled by someone accusing me of being a troll, for example, doesn't bother me at all. I came here to share a story that resonated with some. You just want to pick a fight with me. SO be it
Well you would know!
You're so not bothered you have to insult others? Ok. Not very convincing. You clearly need a thicker skin.
