Family Drama kinda vent

[sheltieluver]

Intro before I get started on what happened today. Back in July my SIL (34) and niece (10) came up from Mississippi for 6 weeks. They drove up with a car my SIL was going to let my MIL use since it was just sitting not be used after her husband died. She bought her and my neice tickets to fly back the middle of Aug.

She stayed with my BIL and SIL bc her mothers house isn't very clean and my niece is allergic to the animals. Whill she was up one of the weeks I took vacation since I don't see my neice or her that often and made plans to do things the zoo and stuff like that. The week before she told me that she would make plans with her mom and her mom would cancel or make excuses not to go. We invited her to the zoo and she said no.

She then texed my SIL saying that she felt like she had to jump when she said jump and some other things I don't remember. My mil then stopped answering her texts she tried calling and it went to voice mail. This went on tIL the day before she was going to fly home.

She had to get her brother to call her and she said she didn't want the car bc she put to many restrictions on it like no smoking in it and no animals bc she would need to use it when she came up to visit and my niece is allergic.

So she ended up driving back and eating the air fare.

Mom never called her on her birthday.

FF to yesterday and I get a text from SIL that my FIL is in the hospital and that my mil never called to tell her she heard it from her brother. Today after the surgery I get a group text from my mil about how surgery went my SIL was never notified I texed her and told her.

I think that's so wrong I don't care if your not talking she had the right to know. I've been there and maybe that's why I sympathize with my SIL when some other family members say she's to blame as well. Maybe she is but it's not the point of the fight at all my mIL is in the wrong here in my opinion.

MIL and SIL are mother/daughter? It's not your brother's sister but your husband's sister, right?

Ugh. I hate family drama. Yes, MIL should have called and told her that her dad was in the hospital no matter what...

Yes my husband's sister and his mother. I always get stuck in the middle. I usually stay neutral but in this case I believe my mil is in the wrong.

I agree, it's wrong, but sometimes people just let their feelings get in the way. Sometimes you just have to set aside your own feelings to consider the other persons feelings. Drama, every family has it. Hope things get better.
