My sister in law is always harping on my family, pointing out our faults. She is always ordering us around--Close the door!! Get me this!! She is always telling us how to live our lives, yet if we point out any of her faults, she gets upset and sends my brother over to tell us back off and she is entitled to her opinion.
I came over the other night to babysit my niece so that she and my brother could go on a "date." Their house was a mess--I cleaned up the toys and put them away and even helped my niece clean up her room. When they came home, she saw I had cleaned up. She looks in the kitchen and has the audacity to say "Well, you could have put the dishes in the dishwasher." I was so upset, I couldn't even say anything.
My family keeps on saying "That's just how she is." I believe that behaviors continue only if they are allowed. My mother has asked me not to say anything in the name of family peace but I really think she is going too far. How should I handle this?
