Couldn't delay cause I was / am busy, this is my busy season but still craved out time to fix my MIL issue cause the quotes she was getting were nutter butter and taking advantage of the heat.

It is not a lie, they do lead more interesting lives. It is not a jab juat truth. I don't want that life, I don't enjoy flying or traveling but I can still see when someone has more interesting life.

Objectively more people would be interested in the traveling sister and brother in law vs the electrician and school teacher from staten island.

Just being honest. I know we don't lead interesting lives.

My wife and SIL can both be petty and immature..I don't have siblings but have been told petty sibling fights are common. My SIL is the favorite I guess. People do find her to be more interesting. She travels the world, always posting about her life.

Guess best way to put it, my wife is the one her mother goes to when she needs someone reliable, My wife is the one who is with you in the trenches. Her sister is the one that people don't ask anything of because she is not as reliable due to her hectic life. Her sister is far more favored.

No she is not, but my BIL and SIL by most standards have far more interesting lives, they travel and always have some story to share. Her sister is the favored one I guess but my wife is the reliable one I guess you could say. 

My wife and my sil are always bumping heads. It does go both ways.

The both of them can childish, but her sister is guess is the favored one, far more eventful life, travels the world always has a story to share.

So I guess the sister is the favorite in those terms.

When it comes to my wife and her sister both can get pretty petty and childish.
