My dad has been really poorly and have spent days on the phone sorting out care for his rapid decline now on palliative care I informed my SIL a lot older that me about his demise and what Ive organised for him and said thought id let you know as she was expecting a call from me to go to visit her her reply was basically I don't think this message is for me then I replied it was an update about my dad who she knows and why we've been busy and haven't been in touch she replied with this emojihmm skeptical !! I txt her saying I don't understand your response ? And I told her what the emoji means then she replied 🤣 I felt that it was inappropriate and there was no sorry your dad's going this or don't worry about visiting or how are you doing
Would be interested in your comments

I’d say she’s very insensitive, must be a thing with husbands bothers wives. She sounds exactly like my Dh SiL, I don’t call my sister in law because she too is insensitive. I hope you get to spent time with your dad as he’s the most important person right now

That's a generalisation!

My DH' s brother's wife ie my sister-in-law, is lovely.
As are and were my brother's wives.

These are not situations for messages. Call her, so you can explain things properly.

I find it hard to get proper context when people don't use commas and fullstops.

Otherwise, I am sorry to hear about your dad.

These emojis change their meaning from time to time according to my daughter. I can't keep up so would not base a response on that. Much easier to speak on the phone and clarify things I think.
