I need everyone's opinion on something. I have a SIL who lives quite far away from us but insists on speaking to her parents every day (who live with me and hubby)! She calls when I am not at home and most times, knows more about what is happening in my house than I do! Then she shares everything with her hubby and his family. I know she misses her parents...but really...does she have to call every day and ask about all of goings ons?

Nothing really interesting happens in our house but she knows about all of our fights and ups and downs....and it is a major invasion of privacy!! It really burns me up when she starts asking private questions that are really none of her business.

I would like to know how other people have managed this bizarre and annyoing situation. I know hardly anything about what is happening in her life, nor do I really care, so it seems really unfair that she knows exactly what we are up to on a daily basis. pragmatic replied. Next time she calls dont respond to one comment she makes and ask about her house,her husband and her life. If she doesnt respond,ask your inlaws. Just about her,her,her. And then respond about everything she replied. In short turn tables on her.
If that doesnt help, first ask your mil how would she feel if her sil would do that to her. And then ask your sil how would she feel if her husband's sister called everyday and discussed every little happening. That should get them thinking.
