How should I handle this situation with my sister in law?

My sister in law is absolutely driving me bonkers. A little back story here, this has been ongoing for 6 years now, and it’s not showing signs of getting better. My husbands brothers partner, for the last 5 years has been an absolute nightmare to deal with. She lies, she is manipulative, and no matter how many times we tell her what our problem is with her, she pleads innocent and that she has done nothing wrong. I hardly knew her and invited her to my wedding, where she and her partner complain about me all night. She started this argument over who was going to having children first in the family, then told me promptly that I would have to wait as she didn’t want to share the attention. She kept us away from her children, then blames us for not having a relationship with them. And by kept up away, sent no photos, wouldn’t allow us to hold them when they were born, never invited us for family events, Easter, Christmas, or birthdays, and when we have been there haven’t let us interact with them. She expects that she can speak her mind and be accepted when she disagrees with us all (everyone has their own opinions), but the moment any of us have a different opinion, she plays the victim “oh, everyone’s picking on me, everyone’s being mean, everyone hates me, etc., etc.” and it’s like no, we were having a discussion, and we disagreed with you Posted our pregnancy announcement shared privately with family, on her own Facebook page, before we had announced to our friends. Post photos of our child on her Facebook without our permission, without tagging us in it, and they are always nudie baby photos, which are cute, yes BUT NOT FOR SOCIAL MEDIA. And she’s been asked several times not to. She belittles me constantly about my parenting, and as a first-time mum, that just ruins me. We are two very, very different people, and I understand fully that not all people can get along, but I don’t understand how someone can post nasty, vile hatred all over their social media about our family; they still plead that she has done nothing wrong? How can she still expect access to our child? How can she still have the warped notion that we are all at fault, all the damn time? Sorry for the long post, but I am really stuck between calling her our AGAIN, or just cutting her off, for my child’s sake, for my sake, for my families sake?

It doesn’t matter what the picture is of. If you don’t want her sharing pictures of your child, she should respect that and not post pictures of your child. She sounds like a royal bitch and I would cut her off if I were you.

Boundaries boundaries boundaries. If you are setting them and requesting things for your child and they are being completely ignored. Cut her off. Let her have her tantrum. you need to what is best for you and your family. Not what’s best your her. Stay strong mama.

Just block her on social media. And don’t worry about what she says.

It sounds like your in highschool.

Be the bigger person here. She’s not your family she’s your husbands family. You aren’t obligated to her. The less attention you give her the better off you will be.
You don’t need a toxic person like that around your kids.

Time to cut her off?

Don’t let it get you. She’s not paying for the roof over your head so don’t take it personal and brush it off. She clearly won’t change so either cutt her off or make sure she understands how you feel by talking to her. Block her on social media if that helps.

Wow this young lady sounds like a full blown attention seeker and goes to any extreme to make it all about herself - by all means block her in every manner possible and maybe just maybe she will miss the ones who accepted her when they didn’t have to and maybe she will realize just what she’s missing out on when she has no one but her significant other and her own kids to tolerate her selfishness and if she does them the way she does the rest of you she won’t have them for long either. Don’t let her insecurities take up anymore of your time she needs to get over herself.

Don’t let her have your child if she’s going to take pictures of them nude and post them on social media, also cut her off all together she sounds like a narcissist. If at family functions be polite but don’t engage.

Good luck, it’s a bumpy road ahead, they will ALWAYS side with her, don’t even bother giving a shit about it just literally have a smile when you have to see the parents in law and other then that don’t look back!

So don’t deal with her

She can’t have access to any of your family any more. I agree nude baby pics shouldn’t be shared on Facebook especially when she’s not the mother of the baby. You’ve got to do your best to cut her out and " Grey rock " her when you’re at a family event. Let her look like an idiot when she goes psycho.

I would report any photos of your child you did not approve her to post. Give her a last chance discussion and warn her if her behavior does not cease, you will no longer be a part of her life and no longer supplying any ammunition for her verbal destruction. If she continues another time, make her be aware of her last disruption and cut her off! Maybe she’ll come to a realization after she gets no more contact. She sounds like an over-controlling snob and she can leave that nonsense in her own house.

just ignore her
dont stoop down to her level

She sounds like my cousins crazy wife.
Legit what I call her.
She sounds like her to a T.
But my cousins crazy wife doesn’t have a mind of her own. She does anything and everything everybody else is doing.
She’s very childish.
It’s rough.
We were pregnant with our first children at the same time and on the day of my baby shower she went on Facebook and cried to the family that she was going to go into preterm labor. And she wasn’t ready for that and nobody cared for her.
The morning of my shower.
She has to know every birthday theme I do for my daughter and then she does it the year following but her daughter is a whole month older than mine.
I have since blocked her from my life BUT she nags my family to know what I’m doing and if they don’t do it she’ll throw a fit.
Nobody in the family likes her but THEY just deal with her.
They call my mom and ask my mom what I’m up to. Because I deleted all of them on all of my social media accounts because of her.
Yes I know it’s sad because it’s one person.
But people can be sooooooo toxic and soo draining and soo much that it just… takes over everything.
I just can’t deal with that
I can’t handle that.
And I stopped going to any family functions because I just can’t stand her. And she knows it.
Seriously if I knew she wouldn’t press charges and stick to them, I’d easily rip her hair out and break her nose.
I can’t. :raised_hands:t2:

Give her the exact treatment & access that she gave you with your nieces/nephews… & when she complains about it… reply with “ I thought this was how it’s done, because nobody saw an issue when you did it”:smirk: that way you call everybody that’s enabling her behavior while letting her know you’re fully capable and aware of what’s going on. And send her the legal def of child porn when she lists nude pics of your kids … don’t be pushed around any longer because no matter what you do… you’ll always be The bad guy … so be the bad guy nobody will try to fuck over again :unamused:

  1. Block her on social media 2. Tell her if she doesn’t remove the nude pics of ur child off FB you will press charges (yes it can be done…been there done that) 3. Set boundaries and hold your ground even it means cutting her off !

Cut her off! Just because she’s supposed to be family doesn’t mean she can disrespect you. Cut her off completely. Stand up to her and tell her to fuck off.

Do not let her anywhere near your children for the love of all things holy.

My sister in law is much the same, except she does all of this while simultaneously copying my every move too. I can’t even get a new hair cut without her getting the same one. She always thinks she’s very clever by using her own downfalls to insult me with. Basically everything that’s wrong with her, she uses as an insult against my own character, which is completely absurd to say the least. Honestly, I dealt with it for 7 1/2 years before she finally used up her last chance with me by accusing me of drugging my kids (I’m super skinny so I must be a crack head) :roll_eyes: She ended that accusation with a threat to call social services and just stopped dealing with her from that point on. My husband agreed that she crossed the line and we haven’t had anything to do with her at all since 2016. Her mom didn’t like it that she couldn’t make us let her around our kids so she cut us off for that. Since then they have both spread so many vile things about me to the whole family that only 3 family members (and it’s a big family) will have anything to do with us. My kids grandparents still haven’t met their grandson and he’s turning 2 in July. They saw us at a graduation once since then but they just walked passed these kids like they didn’t even exist. Family means everything to me and I’m not a bad person at all. I don’t understand any of this either and it’s incredibly hurtful. Last April I went to my best friends moms funeral and some stranger came up and asked me why I was bad mouthing her to my sister in law. She wants to destroy my life so badly that she’s even telling lies to people I don’t even know. I have never met anybody like this in my whole life and my step father was a murderer so I know crazy.

Block her and him from your social media and love from a distant don’t let her still your shine :heavy_heart_exclamation:

Wait…why does she have “nudie” photos of your baby if you don’t want her to have them? And imo this is just petty. You’re still mad about stuff that happened at your wedding how long ago? Block her and move on if it’s too stressful then just be civil at family functions.

I’d have to cut her off.

Cut the bitch off! Sounds like my out law. Lying gossiping,manipulative arsehole lol life is better without them! Trust me.

How does your bro in law put up with her? She’s really toxic and you need to distance yourself from her. Maybe not cut her out. But have a hi and bye relationship when it’s needed to… Conversations… Don’t even bother. Don’t even get yourself drawn into it because she can make you…We have similar situation and it’s way better this way.

If she’s posting naked photos of your children you can literally have her charged for distribution of CP

We had to make it clear people had to ask to take a picture of our kids, (we avoided phones around them when people visit to prevent them getting broken or distracting from socializing) and if anything about us or our kids is posted on Facebook we must be tagged… if it’s done without tagging us well presume it’s done in secrecy and report it (have it removed)

If she’s hell bent on behaving that horribly I’d cut her out as you don’t need that kind of negativity in your life or rubbing off on your kids xx

It’s way past time to cut her off completely. It’s sad amd unfortunate that she’s so toxic but that’s precisely why she’s got to go. Save your sanity and spare your family from her negativity. Take care and know you are supported. You do not need that. I wish you some peace in the future. :heart:

So… Stop arguing with her. Don’t give her access to your childrens photos. If she says something outragous, like you can’t have kids before her, just smile and move on. Many times we feel we need to defend ourselves from other people when in reality, we don’t. She can try to spread lies and manipulate people, but you have a choice to not take part in it.

By all means for her own sanity block her on all media accounts! No one should be posting pictures of YOUR children with out your permission… she seems like a an attention seeker and always has to be the center of attention … for your sanity - cut all ties… sucks that you can’t get to your children or hers but it’s not the end of the world. Keep you sanity and keep moving forward. Better in long run for you and your children …

Stay away from her. You don’t need to be around her or subject your children to her. Don’t even send her pics.

Sometimes the best thing to do is say “I’m done and walk away”. Cut all ties for your own sense of well being. Won’t lie, it’ll be hard at first but in the end you and your mind will be better off. I have done this.
