You don't like traits of the sister-in-law...often if you spot it, you got it.
If you alienate her you will be automatically be doing the same w/ brother.
It is not a competition. You can't change her but you can change your attitude. don't waste so much energy harboring resentments. just try to have fun and relate to the two of them in a good-natured way.You may be surprized if you don't wrap a story around ea. incident how much peace-of-mind you'll have. If I entered a room and there was a seat empty next to my husband that is where I'd sit. They are a couple. Your time would have been more meaninful if you had just taken a diffferent seat, without the brooding. That does seem immature. I think my son's girlfriend is a selfish bitch. But when I am around them I am nice, friendly, accepting and keep my opinion of her to myself. I don't let my opinion interfere because it won't change her but I can change how I relate to her so I have.
