I just found out my sister in law is hosting christmas eve. At thansgiving, her and my brother in law strutted right by me (when they arrived at my inlaws) without even acknowleging me. My sister in law also "helped out in the kitchen" without washing her hands! It was easy to avoid the items she touched that day, but she's making the whole meal! Aside from boycotting the event, what should I do?

If you don't like being around her then don't go if your going to be like ice all night long then you are going to ruin the night for other people, so make other plans. and If you find your self having to go for one reason or another then bring a dish (a casserole or something) with you, at lest you will feel OK to eat that. And try to get along. After all were supposed to forgive people that might have done wrong, and turn a new leaf. good luck.

personally i think you should jump in there, it sounds like you and your in-laws aren't too close. Get to know her better and go help her prepare the meal, you know spend some real "quality time" with her. At the least offer to bring some dishes. If none of that works you can always eat an early dinner and let everyone know your still full from lunch or if your really feeling coniving, you could help prepare her dinner with out washing your hands all day beforehand!

It sounds like there are more issues than just a little "hand washing' going on here! It sounds like your feelings got hurt from the "slight" that you felt from your B-i-l....don't let THAT spoil your family time together...some people are just preoccupied with their own thoughts, and don't even know when they have been rude to some one!!!! Eat what you can (without being too judgmental)...but try to leave your feelings out of it... and make sure you wash your hands...it may help your s-i-l- realize she forgot !!!! LOL!

You can either go or not go. If your biggest complaint is that you didn't see her wash her hands, I assure you, when you opened your car door you probably got more germs that what you will get from eating. Did you touch the door handle at your house or theirs? Talk about your all time germs. When was the last time you disinfected the door handle? Put things into perspective. If you still have an issue, I suggest you don't go.

Offer to help out in the kitchen. Avoid the whole event by being "ill".
