I was thinking the same thing.

She is bitter. Rub it in her face.

haha PhD in Marketing huh? I'd start referring to him as Don Draper when in the presence of your wife's sister.

Don Draper is far too smart to waste so much time with a such a worthless "PhD."

 

[Kelvrick]

Interesting the SIL is looking directly at the baby. For future reference, if you wanted to crush her their lack of children would be one way to go. Just be prepared to have an enemy for life if you go there.

Yep. Ask if he's so smart, why'd he marry the manly looking barren one. How come you're not wearing a belt? You also tied your tie incorrectly.

Regarding the picture saying a thousand words, it says a thousand words about that moment. Sides, if I was holding a baby that looks like its squirming all over the place, I'd pay attention to it too.

I'm the indian guy, my wife is next to me... my child is being held by her sister and so forth.

Pictures can be worth 1k words, and you don't have anything to worry about. You both look great, happy, etc....them, not so much.

Intelligence can be measured in many different ways. Use this as an opportunity to show that you and your wife, among other things, have more social intelligence.

Haha.

Your wife is hotter and you're better looking. No question there.

Your sister-in-law looks disdainful and the dude looks unhappy. There's hidden issues there. She looks like a total wise and beautiful woman fwiw. An expression is all it takes to see she's a ball of angst.

If you want to get under her skin, always act HAPPY around them. And that you're so happy with life that you're going to get her sister pregnant again. :thumbsup: LMAO.

Without going through this thread, you think that perhaps you are upset because by every metric we use in our society, she is absolutely right? He's got a doctorate from a prestigious university, and probably makes considerably more money than you. Granted it is in poor form to ever bring up such a thing, and I would assume he would probably not approve of her doing it, but I think you would have simply laughed at her and brushed it off if you didn't feel it was true. Just get over it.

 

[MagnusTheBrewer]

I would have just burst out laughing.

I have a tendency to edit myself to silence. When someone says something totally off the wall or just flat plain wrong, I always try to put myself in their shoes if only to determine the color of the sky where they live. Years ago, I was told that tendency to hesitate while the gears ground made me look slow. I just smile and use it as my secret weapon.

I'm now reminded of 2 seinfeld episodes. Jerk Store and Soup Nazi where Elaine and George are disgusted with the public affection that Jerry and his girlfriend show.

UPDATE: Well I talked to my wife a little more about it... She was pretty much shocked that it still bothered me. She then told me that her sister has been trying to get pregnant for quite a while now (I really had no idea since they're both ~35, I figured they were just career oriented and didn't want kids.) My wife and I had a little one last September.

Not sure how what she said made her feel better but if it did, I no longer have an issue with it. As for why it bothered me to begin with? It's probably because I only have a Mathematics BS.

BTW his PhD is in Marketing.




It was a statement made when she was drunk but I'm not one that excuses nonsense like this because of alcohol.

She justified the statement by bringing up the fact that he has a doctorate degree from Columbia.

While I have no way to refute the claim or prove anything contrary, I simply don't think it is in proper form and am quite shocked that it was said with at least 10 other people around. At the time I simply walked away.

It's been a few days since the incident and I am still bothered by it. She is known for making statements like this and when anyone confronts her, everyone else pretty much says it's "her being her."

I'm at a loss for what to do especially because I will be with my wife's family for a two week vacation soon.

Oooh, now you have ammo! Next time she messes with you just say to her, "Hey, at least I'm not shootin' blanks!"

Your metric is broken...or ignorant.

Anyone in-the-know would side with the mathematician based on such "metrics".

Who would a hedge fund hire? A math dude or marketing dude. Who are the people with the huge Wall St. paychecks?....It ain't marketing dudes. LOL. (personal experience talking here)

 

[SaDiZTiKStyLeZ]

Fuck her in the ass. It's the only way.

 

[Printer Bandit]

next time tell her : dark chocolate > white chocolate.

Because obviously the only metric that counts is the amount of money you make.

 

[ShawnD1]

Seriously bro. wtf is up with SIL's face? The angles are all wrong.

 

[shortylickens]

Tell her its better than riding the coattails of her husband and to make you a sandwich.

Yup, there is no woman so arrogant of her accomplishments as one who married a successful man.
Its almost like womens lib didnt happen 40 years ago.

Based on his so-called "metrics"...yes.

Your wife is beautiful, monk3y. And grats on your newborn.

If you want to strike back passively, just let her know that she's infertile.

+bonus points if she's religious and point out to her that (insert deity) doesn't want her to have kids or that she was born with inferior genetics and is incapable of having kids.

That'll get her!

 

[Printer Bandit]

however, in the eyes of your family, you probably fail since you married a white girl.

"Too bad his PhD in Marketing (LOL) won't make your dried up ovaries any more fertile."

 

[Childs]

Fuck her in the ass. It's the only way.

Mental note: Don't insult this guy's intelligence.

 

[Bulk Beef]

But he has to point out a flaw even if imagined for a specific body part. That will cast doubt and eat away at her. i.e. why are your eyelids so pudgy?

Fair enough. She does appear to have some fatty triceps. And a prominent supraorbital ridge. Key in on those for starters.

 

[Exterous]

Just tell her that you are clearly more of a man since you gave their family a child

Throw a solved Rubik's Cube in her face and yell, "Who's smart now bitch!"

Subtlety is overrated.

Ha!

Rub it in her face.
MotionMan

Literally. If she looks confused just tell her thats how you impregnated her sister
