Hi and thanks,

So, my sister in law is pretty annoying. I try hard to avoid her and bite my tongue always. However, it's gotten extremely difficult.

We have children the same age and they're now 29 and she's been always competitive since they were small. Whenever I seen her she had to throw in her girls accomplishments always. I bite my tongue because I see my daughter as a person not just a test score, but my daughter is highly intelligent, skipped grades in school. I just don't feel the need to brag constantly. My daughter owns 4 homes and is married, and has 3 beautiful children and has a very good source of income. However, I never bring that up to her. I bite my tongue.

Recently, she flipped on my husband asking why their parents visited us more than her. She didn't see her brother in years but decided to vent on him . I wasn't there I was at work and my husband filled me in. I did arrive later, where she was civil but her and her daughter were intoxicated and behaving like "idiots ". Her daughter said to my daughters husband "shall I clock her"? She was referring to me. My son in law stated this later after we left. I wasn't too surprised because of their characters. Her mother is also aggressive.

Over the years we have stayed away for the most part and when there are get together it's always drama. How can we deal with this?

I'm extremely frustrated with the drama.
