Boyfriend's Sister Is Mad At Me?
My boyfriend and I have been together for just over 2yrs. We have met each other's family and friends and everybody gets along really well. However, lately I feel like his sister is against me. She gets mad when she tries to make last minute plans and we tell her that we can't go because we already made plans with my family. I make every effort to participate in his family's events no matter how small they are but I feel that my family is just as important. She and I are both the Alpha-Female type so I know that there are bound to be times when we clash but I try hard to just smile and go along with things just to keep the peace. Do you think she's acting like this because she feels like another strong female is coming into her territory and "stealing her brother"?
Latest example to follow. Please wait to answer....
Example: My family and I have put off celebrating Father's Day with my dad because of his family's activities. We are finally going out this weekend and then she calls and says that she wants to go to the beach. We told her that we have plans with my family and we can't put it off again and she got mad and started attacking my time management skills because I can't fit her in to my day. I really can't and she doesn't get it. She's 31 and married. I think by now she should understand the issues of splitting time between two families.
His sister will often undermind every thing I do- even just little things. If I make a pasta salad, she'll go over and taste it and then arbitrarily add extra ingredients. Or if we go on vacation, she'll totally ignore my suggestions for activities.

You have bent over backwards for her. Don't do it anymore. I would explain to her one time only that you must have more notice on family events. That you also have a family that wants to do things with you both as well. That it you have already made plans you want be changing them at the last minute. She is trying to control you. As far as your food goes just ignore her. Or you could taste something she made and say this needs something not quite right. How you talk to your boyfriend about this. He should handle it. Just do the best you can do. You can't fix her problem. It would be with any woman he is with. Its not because of who you are.
