Unpleasant sister in law, help please

You could be right! That's a good one Pigma

I wouldn’t retaliate. Just let us say her piece and you can walk away in silence. Life is too short.

Thanks everyone, I really appreciate the advice. We have to go because we are close to the person the party is for. There will be a lot of other people there so I can stay away from her. As a wee Glasweigan I don't usually hold back but I think on this occasion I will take your advice and ignore her xxx

A while ago I recall someone on here suggested what to say when someone was being offensive. It was: 'I am sorry but I don't understand'. I thought that was quite good as they have to explain themselves. Another is: 'Why would you say that?'.

No, you don't have to go because you are close to the host/hostess, you can always celebrate with the person some other time

Smile and walk away when she approaches you she does not matter and is not important. Let her feel the disappointment that you won’t be taking the verbal she usually comes out with. Walk tall and be smug and treat her like this from now on you can do it.

Usually I would say avoid someone like this, but if you happen to find yourself face to face with her and she makes a disparaging comment, just say, "Yes you're quite right, as usual, now do excuse me," and turn to talk to someone else or walk away.

Try not to let her "get to you."
As everyone else says, she's simply jealous of you and her opinions are really not worth worrying about.

Tell her you dislike her jokes. Be uncompromisingly polite to her. She is socially disabled

Again, where is your husband on this?

Why is he not protecting you and telling her to leave you alone?

I hope he sees how she treats you and does not justify it
