WWYD???? Nephew related...sorry long...
Ok, So my SIL is insane and loves to "catch" me doing bad things and making a production out of them. I almost ended my relationship to my DH (before we were married) due to her- she is that psycho.
But this time, I am totally in the wrong and need to know how to handle this- remembering that she is psycho in all ways.
Two days ago I was talking to my neice who was in town- she is 7. She was going to Sea World the next day with my step-nephew who is 12(SIL had him with her previous DH so he is no relation really) and crazy SIL. She was all excited to go on this big water ride with a very long drop- pretty scary ride actually. My nephew talks a good game but definately is a scardy-cat when it comes to this stuff. I told my neice not to get too excited because he probably would be too afraid to go on it and that her Aunt gets motion sickness. I just didn't want her to get her hopes up about going on this ride if no one else wanted to.
So first thing she says to my nephew when she gets in the car is Aunt Christine said you are a Scardy-cat! They always end up fighting so I guess she wanted to get in the first dig.
Now of course crazy SIL doesn't confront me later on when she drops my neice off. I found out from my neice when she told me later. But my BIL does mention it to her mom that she said that.
My plan is to calmly call SIL, tell her that my neice told me what she said and ask for nephew's phone number(he staying with friends for a week) to apologize. Good plan(knowing she is psycho) or just ignore?
THANK you do much for reading! I really don't know which way to go with this. I really do feel awful- he is a great kid- I just don't get alone with his mom.

Geeze, sounds like she is psycho if she would be upset by that. You made a simple comment, I'm sure you weren't making fun of him.
I guess you could do what you suggest if she's that crazy. A sane person wouldn't require a phone call though

Thanks- I needed some perspective! She is truly psycho and I know my BIL must think I am evil since she blows everything out of proportion. My DH's sister and I really don't get why he is with her He is a great guy.

IMHO, just ignore unless the nephew says something.

I love you guys right now- I was dreading calling my SIL and getting "the lecture" on how to behave again
