Re: Deleted Post
I'd be friendly without getting close to her. Why on earth would you put yourself in a best friend or close friend position when she's always been like this? Stay civil but in no way would I go out on a limb for her. I'm guessing your camping in a group (if you're going with just them, then i think you deserve what you get) in a group though you can avoid doing things with just her and just be nice, just don't share your secrets with her and if she throws a fit just let her know you don't appreciate being disrespected and walk away.
Sorry that your niece has a bitchy mother but you don't be friends with someone so you can hang out with their kid, unfortunately you might only see the kid when you have family gatherings that they both happen to have to attend too.
Much better!
She seems very dramatic and it seems like a lot of people (her H even) knows it. I think it is best to just keep your distance and only engage her at family events. It seems like it's too much work to be friends with her which is a shame but you really don't need the drama.
Why did you do this? Do you realize you made a choice to go above and beyond for her? I think expecting her to do the same is short sighted, considering not everyone is going to treat a situation like you do/did.
Maybe you shouldn't have given so much of yourself for someone who hadn't proved to meet you half way in your friendship?
This little tantrum on top of her behavior during your wedding, is the reason that her friends left her. Sadly, your niece is a part of the package when it comes to your SIL. If I were you I would be as civil as possible, let her fight, yell, scream cuss whatever she needed to do to express herself, but I would not engage in her negative behavior, I would let her DH deal with it. I would cut off any personal favors to keep myself from enabling this behavior. If LO wasn't involved in the event, I wouldn't be either. But I would still offer to take the LO off her hands because of how much you love her.
Totally understandable. She should like she can squeeze drama out of any wrong move. And I appreciate the heads up.
