I was so annoyed at my sister in law, she doesn't know how to thank my parents even if her kids got many presents from them. She doesn't have any initiative to say a simple thanks to my parents. I also feel mad about my brother he is the guy he should say something to her wife to do good for us his family. I am now at least be glad that they are not living in our house already more fight will happen it they are. Its been so long they had been married 6yrs yet my sister in law didn't change her attitude towards us. You cant blame me that i hated her so much. She didn't allow the kids to talk to my parents for long she is greedy in terms of borrowing her kids, but if her relatives side any favor she always gives in..Does any of you experience this? Kindly share your point of view.

Oh, that's awful. I can't imagine why anyone would treat parents that way. Did your parents do anything to her that must have caused her to act that way around them?

I think both sides should make an effort to reconcile and be nicer to each other, because you're now family and your brother will be caught in the middle of this situation. Why wouldn't you and your family like her? Is it reasonable? And does your brother know that?

No none, actually my parents really don't like her to be a part of our family.Maybe its her way of saying they don't like them too., but my point is since she knows we don't like her she should exert effort to be polite and be liked by us. don't you think so?

umh, better you should not hate her...just take time to speak directly to her 1-2 time about the problems. if she doesn't change her behavior, anytime she doesn't say thank to your parents or anybody else, you can remind her. i think she should be ashamed and should remember it.

You cannot please your sister in law to change her attitude. Just limit your temper with her. That is a very common problem nowadays. In laws who are living together with their wife's or husband's family are not in good condition. Of course, the explanation into that is, each husband or wife has been grew and raised in different kind of families, a total a difference with how you have been raised by your parents.So the gaps exists.

Yes sis you are right i am just so annoyed cos a simple good gestures she should show to my parents after all, even if they don't have much money they always have some presents to her kids, isn't it a big deal for her just to say thanks to my parents, or try to have the kids some time to chat on their granny. we really don't like the attitude of my sister in law she is not kind, always not good to my parents..

maybe she didn't grow up or believe in the same moral rights and wrongs as you do; did you mention it to her, that saying "thank you" would have gone a long way to ease a relationship failing? don't get mad at her behind her back. making her know could do your health a lot of good.

well it happends to some family. My sister is in law is okay, I had no problems and in fact she wants the kids to be closed to us, We are generous aunts so the more we are happy with her children the more presents (nice) for them during christmas and birthdays. So she's fine she helps too in household chores whenever they are staying with us for vacation. Sorry for you for you brother married a b!tch. LOL. Yes your brother should talk to her. Tell your brother about what you have observed. Don't tell him what he should do just tell him what you just posted. and give concern on your parents. He will do the rest. If you attack her wife he will just repel, so better tell him what you observed than telling him what to do

I have one sister in-law on my side and five on my husband's side and thankfully even if we're not that close all of them are nice. Why could your sister in-law be behaving like that towards your family? Maybe you have unresolved issues in the past.

Well my parents and i relay dont like my sister inlaw for my brother to be her wife. But in my own opinion if im in the shoe of my sister inlaw as i know i am not in their favor to be a member of our family the more ill do and more eager to be close to them...am i right?Ill make a way for me to be liked by my husbands family, i will try to please them, instead of nt talking and nit thanking them to all the good deeds that my hubby's family do to my kids.

gilenie I do not hate anyone as hate does not hurt the one you hate it just hurts you. I do n ot particularly like som eo my in laws but then they are off in Washington state while I am in California.So distance has it benefits.Did you ever wonder how she felt about her in laws. if you people show hatred towards her why would she being feeling grateful to your parents.Perhaps if you all were kind and welcoming to her she might learn to appreciate your parents. me if I know someone hates me I w ll not be friends with them but keep away.No one likes to know you are being so disliked. Also her children are her children and not toys to be handed around .I would never share my children with inlaws who disliked me. Kindness might pay much larger dividends.

There are really in laws that do not have a good and healthy relationships towards the family of their husband or wife. But I think the initiative should be on your sister in law of reaching out for your parents. She should step down from her level and not feel so high in terms of pride. I will not be wondering if she and your entire family were having fights everyday while they were still staying in your house!

In-law problems are like matter of course. I hope you will be able to find the right time to understand each other, but six years would have let you know each other and get adjusted to each other.

Gosh, she didn't allow the kids to talk to your parents? Why is she doing that? this is so weird. But I think your brother should really tell her about it. or maybe you brother does not even know this is happening? sometimes guys can be really insensitive. have you tried talking to you brother about this. This sounds quite serious. But on the other hand, since they are no longer staying with you guys, then that would help to lessen conflits

It can be because she herself wasn't brought up well. I've had friends who had no manners, but were sweet and nice overall. But most of the times those people who don't say thank you are really heartless and ignorant people. I think you should talk to your brother about that that if she belongs to a group or a family, she should be accustomed to them, such as say thank you when she gets something... it should be his task to tell these stuff to her.

The best course of action you should take is talk to your brother about it, since he's the husband and he's your brother. Be careful with the words you'll be using, as it might upset your brother. Tell him that you're only thinking about your parents since they would really be happy if they could spend more time with their grandkids. Hope everything will turn out well.

Hi gilenie. I can relate to you. I am grateful it's a history because it's an ex in-laws. It's even worst than your situation. We cannot always expect anyone to meet our expectations. It's better that you have a good relationship with them as long as you live. Your point of view shows you have a pleasant upbringing from your parents that's why you are expecting other people to do the same. For sure she has her own reasons why she's having a distant relationship with you and your mom. For me, I also do the same now because I've been too close with my former in-laws that made them abuse my kindness by borrowing huge amount of money from me and they didn't bother to pay. I have learned my lesson when to say no and when to put a wall. I think maybe she's being just shy or those kinds of people that are not that vocal on saying thank you's but in their heart and mind they are appreciating those things that your mom gave to her kids. It's also a practice for you in the future once you have in-laws from your husband to be if you're still single. Relax and focus on positive things. Have a great day!
