What to call my wife's brother's wife? (1 Viewer)

[mr. furley]

also, thank you for this very important pole

 

[wormburner]

is she my Sister-in-law?

It depends.  Ask sports_fan to post pics of her and we'll let you know.

Turns out I did misspell it

Hogwallop

That's okay, those Hogwallops can't spell it either.

Just grab her by her ##### and call her Maga.

What the #### is wrong with you... She is clearly your SIL and why the #### would you bring up how much you love your nieces/nephews.

 

[Mr.Pack]

That's your sister in law

You know who else judges and labels people by the amount of DNA they have in common?  NAZIs and Klansmen.  

Who the hell cares how much bloodline there is between these kids who call you uncle.

Sorry.  I thought you were setting up an Arkansas joke.

Hmmm.   Maybe that angle would have worked better.

i'm usually down to litigate pretty much anything, but honestly this seems like a total waste of time to even think about.

good thread, I enjoyed it

I'm in a similar boat. I never really considered my wife's brother's wife to be my sister-in-law. I would say she is my brother-in-laws wife. Idk. It seems a little far removed. I always considered my sister's husbands to be my brother-in-laws. But my wife's brother's wife is a huge #### so maybe that plays a role.

Thanks for doing this.  Bugs me a little when kids don't do it.  Although to be fair when I was a kid I was brought up to call non-family member in the generation up "mister" or "miss" (and then usually the first name or nickname they preferred..."mister John"..."miss Junie")

This and what Saints described are very New Orleans. Wonder how common it is elsewhere?

 

[Binky The Doormat]

Really suprised not to see "Sugar ###s" already being suggested.

We picked it up living in West Virginia in the early 2000s. It worked there really well, and it works in NW PA.

There was been a running conversation for the last couple of years with my wife's family every since I said that I don't consider my wife's brother's wife to be my sister-in-law.  I've  done some internet searching and I've seen it argued both ways.  It came up again yesterday as my brother-in-law's wife started to argue that if I wasn't her sister-in-law than her kids were not my niece and nephew.  I told her I consider them my niece and nephew but I certainly don't love them as much as my sibling's kids.  Without even getting into how that went over, is she my Sister-in-law?

She's your sister-in-law.

No offense, but you kind sound like a d-bag.

I'm not surprised someone who believes in a fairy tale bit the hook
