what is the worst thing an in-law has said to you?

my sister in law just emailed me and told me to divorce her brother so he could be with the woman he "really" loves. Hmm, I think I feel a little hurt and confused!!

What you do, since it's in email form is to not say a thing to anyone and just forward it to your husband.

Do you and your husband have a good relationship, or do you think there is a possibility that he has interests outside the marriage, that he has spoken with his sister about?

i think i would forward it to my husband, then let him deal with his sister for being a total bitch. what's her problem anyway? (i don't really want to know, i just can't imagine someone doing that.)

wow; definitely forward it to your dear sweet hubby...

I have a sister in law that acts the same way. The day I lost my pregnancy at 18 weeks, she said to me (out of earshot of my husband) "You can have my daughter. I didn't want her anyway". A few years later, she told her oldest daughter "I am going to hit her upside the head with a baseball bat". The daughter told me at Thanksgiving dinner. All because I didn't want her drug dealing boyfriend at my house. Unfortunately, you don't marry a man, you marry his family. I agree with the others. Involve your husband in this issue. My husband has come around and seen what his sister is really like.

nothing they have said tops yours. my father in law made a comment about my weight with my first pregnancy and it really hurt my feelings. i had only gained 26 lbs during the entire pregnancy but...anyway, my own father has said rude things about my weight so I guess I should get used to it. I am about 5 - 10 lbs over weight.

I have teenage kids and whenever someone says something to them I ask them to ask themselves " What do you think that persons' motivation was?"

Then I remind them that the rule of talking is 1. Is it helpful and 2. Is it kind? This comment of your sister-in-law was NEITHER.

You are understandably upset, confused, and hurt. BUT (and this is big) it is HER issue, you don't have to make it yours.

I would definitely show it to my husband, but I would laugh about it...like: "You will not believe what your silly sister sent me today - ha, ha, ha". It can only hurt you if you let it.
peace-
