My SIL & her husband have always tried to compete with my husband and I. We buy a new car, a few weeks later they buy a newer, nicer more fancy car, we just bought a new house, they have also decided to buy a nicer, much larger home. It has gone as far as using a name we had told them we were using for our son for their son.
They have quite a bit more money than my husband and I so I’m struggling to understand why they feel the need to one up us constantly.
Anyway, looking for advice on how to proceed, solidarity, I don’t know. Unsure how to proceed with them.
My sister in law is very competitive with others, but luckily not with us. The only reason is because everything they have is nicer, so there’s no need for her to compete with us.
However, she is incredibly competitive with her friends and other family members. I recently showed her a new house my best friend bought. It’s a big house with a huge yard. My SIL and her hubby has a beautiful home, but it’s not big like this, which should be fine but she doesn’t think like that. She said “Oh, now I know this is going to get me mad!” She wanted to see pictures of the house so I sent her the Zillow link. Her best friend got a pool years after they did, and she was saying how hers will always be superior. Lol.
I think you should act like you have no idea what they’re doing. Live your life. People who one-up like this are insecure in many ways.
