I have 3 SIL's, will be 4 next June, all on my hubby's side of the family. I have 2 brothers and 2 sisters - older brother divorced years ago and we've lost touch with his ex, younger brother has never married.
All of my SIL's are really sweet and I get along with each of them. Only problem is one lives in California, one in Chicago, and one in Louisiana - she's the closest but still lives 4 hours away and with 4 kids and another on the way, she just doesn't have time!!! We all talk via email or phone calls and we try to get together as a family once a year. Next year, in June, we are all traveling to Orlando for hubby's younger brother's wedding. The whole family is renting a 7 bedroom house to stay at and we're turning it into a family reunion.

I know what you mean. I can handle it for a little while, if I start getting annoyed, I just go outside or away from the group for awhile. Some just seem to think their family is better and if they would stop and think why they married our brothers, who do they think they grew up with???

On my hubbys side, the one with the money lives in New Jersey, the nicer one lives in Illinois (they have a greenhouse business), and the step sister and half sister live here in town for the moment.
On my side, the better of the two lives in town and the evil one lives just 4 miles from me in the country, only they live in a sub-division. We only see each other at the holidays which is fine. Too much drama if we see each other more.

I do try to be nice to them and I think I am, but I'm sure being tested on this one, let me tell you. Whenever the evil one was pulling her attitude, I use to tell her "keep it up, we still haven't voted you in the family yet." It always gets a laugh, but HEY I WAS SERIOUS!!! LOL

It IS HARD to be nice and friendly all of the time!! The younger sil always knows it better, can do it better, has better, and oh you can't beat her, she has the nicest of everything. She WILL let everyone know how much they payed for everything URGH!!! I couldnt care less what she has and how much she has. She loves to lie, and i have a serious problem with people that can't tell me the truth, so now my husband keeps me well away from her TG, and i don't miss her one bit! My older sil and i always used to make fun of her, and i used to laugh in her face, specially after having a few drinks

It is hard being nice. VERY HARD, would probably be a little easier if I actually liked them. I just know I love my brothers so that helps. My evil SIL still asks others in the family a lot of questions so she can try to "one up" them, but when she starts asking me questions, I just smile and ask why she wants to know...LOL She never knows what to say... Sometimes she'll say "just curious" and I'll tell her that's what killed the cat!!!
