    i have a new sister in law and now she is pregnant with twins. everytime i go over to my brother house she is always sleeping or upstairs until dinner. i get frusterated because she is never downstairs with my other brother and sister when we come over. my older brother says it because shes pregnant and tired. i understand that but always? she doesnt text me back either when i ask her about stuff. i feel like there is no bond between us and when the babies are born (gino and gerogio) i want to be able to spoil them rotten and babysit and what not. so how do i make our relationship better?

    not that it matters but shes black and my brothers white and the first time i met her i had dreads. later she told me she hates dreads on people who cant wear them right. and i tried to do them again but she combed them out. i was trying to be nice and get ourselves on the right track. thats why i let her.
     
  2. It sounds like you're the only one making an effort here. You didn't say how pregnant your sister-in-law is. It may be worth waiting until the babies are born and then trying again, if nothing else you will have the babies to talk about and it could be the starting point for a better relationship. Then again some people are just not meant to be friends and if that is how your sister-in-law feels there's not much you can do about it. Remember you can still visit your brother and the babies when they arrive.

  4. You can only give it a go. But don't lose precious time with your brother over this.

    Thats frustrating. I am sorry to hear shes being that way.Your putting so much effort into being cool with her and she is just going to be like that? And with the whole dread thing thats not cool either. If she was conciderate and knew how much your dreadies ment to you she wouldnt of made comments like that and make you feel like you need to brush em out. Sorry I am totally not trying to bash on your new family member but pesonally if I was you I would just let her come to me. And if she doesnt thats her loss but still remain on peaceful terms. Shes your brothers wife and you need to be cool with her but its all on her now. She needs to make the move. Hopefully once the babys are born things will be diffrent. :)
    Keep positive!!!
    Hope it all works out for yah!!

    Well you always have your brother. And those are always your brothers kids so don't worry about being able to baby sit. I'd talk to your brother about it really.

    ok so its thanksgiving and ive been at my brothers house for one hour and he just told me that his wife is mad at me because of the comments have made about her baking. my family is always like this. we make fun of everyones cooking because we all like to cook. anyway everyone knows it in good fun and its how wwe are. well my brother told me that i will say her cooking is good but then cirteak it somehow, but i was being honest. but she is pregnant and is more sensitive so from now on i will not talk to her about her cooking. but in reality, her cooking isnt up to my familys level but its no big deal. so i answered my own question. haha thanks, but seriously holidays suck and sunday dinners sucks. i just cant wait till her kids are born so she can go upstairs and sleep while my brother and sister and me play with them.
