I think its a mistake. They left it out accidently.

What a frustrating story. Yes, the SIL did embarrassing things, but the narrator ends up sounding clueless when it comes to Mitzvosbein adam lechaveiro. She's honestly surprised that her SIL didn't take her critiques well? And some of the SIL's infractions sound like simple differences in how she was raised. For some families Shabbos isn't Shabbos without china. For others it isn't Shabbos without nice disposable plates. Simi is judged so harshly, it was hard for me to read.

The narration was a little odd, as well. The narrator spends more time talking about how her MIL felt although she never mentions that they spoke about the subject. In general, it's impoosible to truly know how someone feels about something unless they tell you outright and the author would have been more successful sticking to how the narrator felt.

In general, this is like that recent story of the man who had unreasonable expectations of his eife, in that both narrators come off sounding worse than the person they're complaining about.

I am so disappointed. This is not the first time Ami have made annoying mistakes.
