I’m not usually one to read too much into things…however a few situations with my sister-in-law make me wonder if she may be copying me. First, when she was engaged she got the exact same ring as me and she set her wedding 6 months away just like I had done when I was preparing for my wedding. That didn’t really seem weird to me, in fact, I was flattered. Then she picked a strapless wedding gown set of by pearls and an eternity wedding band exactly as I had done. At this point I noticed the similarities in our choices but was still more flattered then anything. What just happened recently sort of opened my eyes…All summer long my husband and I have talked about having his nephew over for a few days so he could spend time with us. We planned on doing it sometime near the end of summer and had made that clear to everyone in the family. I was about to arrange our nephews visit when I found he had been invited to my sister-in-laws condo for the week. Now that the week has been taken due to our work schedules we will not be able to have our nephew over before the end of summer as we had planned. She had never wanted to have him over until she heard we were doing it. I feel like the copying has gone a bit too far. I also feel really bad for viewing it as a negative thing, am I wrong in being a bit frustrated?
You're overreacting. Be thankful she's taking your nephew because you can't. She's stepping up for you.
