My husband's younger brother's wife disrespects both of us because she is smarter and more capable. Her job is better than both of us. She even told me that her husband is better than mine. She is competitive. What should I react

Don't react to such comments at all - it's an argument that is pointless and will only serve to create a rift between you and your younger brother.

Not all of us had every opportunity handed to us. She may make more money, but she probably has more bills, so it breaks even in the end.
-
Just ignore her. It's insecurity. People who are confident in themselves and in their lives don't behave that way. Ignoring her will basically throw all that venom back into her face and she will have to deal with herself.

Your sister-in-law may be smarter and more capable, but she's also a bitch. Don't react to her childish jibes and then kill her with kindness.

Non-competitively. Who cares what she thinks? Just try to be as nice as you can, and if she continues to tell you how great she is, agree with her to the point of embarrasing her. Like this: "Yes, I know your husband is better than mine. I've been trying to steal him from you for a long time now." And then wink at her and laugh.

I thought I was the only one with a sister like that. I just say "I'm very happy for you." or "Aren't you the lucky one?" and I really mean it. I am glad that she thinks she got the best deal. Of course, I know she's wrong, but why burst her bubble?

Just tell her to relax and go with the flow. "I am sure you will be able to have an orgasm, someday, dear...If your husband is anything like his older brother, he is more than capable of giving you one. Have you considered hormone therapy?"

thats funny.. laugh at her and tell her isnt it about time she grew up.. how immature, and bitchy.. dont worry about her, just ignore it.. she's probably only saying it to make herself feel better

Do not let her intimidate you. She has a better job--so what--she's fortunate. Maybe she had more advantages in life in terms of education, money, etc. Don't enter into the competition but don't let her insult you either. I have a good job and advanced degrees, but so what? I got there by working on the docks, in the trucking business, and as a laborer. My parents paid for a lot of my schooling and I know I'm lucky for that. My father drove a truck and worked lots of overtime to pay for it. My mother worked in offices and stores and I got the benefit of a lot of that, too. Neither one of them graduated high school, mostly because of money issues. The best people I have met were in ditches working for pipelines and on loading platforms. I had to wait until I got to the workplaces where people with advanced degrees work until I met the real mutts.

I agree with Mushen, don't react. Humility goes a long way. She sounds like she is full of herself. Wonder how many people she steps on to get what she wants. She may be more driven, but smarter does not go very far without wisdom and empathy for others. It would be interesting to hear what her co-workers think of her.
