Why?
Posted by Anon in Family on Jul 4th, 2011 | 3 commentsRecently I made a decision to let my disabled sis in law move in with my husband and I. I am taking her in b/c no one else wants her around because she is nothing but a lazy butt and a messy slob. I don’t want to see her homeless. But dear lord she drives me INSANE!!! She is an opinionated know it all. I used to do nothing but be upset and depressed because of her, and am now on meds just to deal with the day to day life with her. I feel like It could possibly be one of the worst mistakes I’ve made in a long time, I feel like I have to help b/c she is family but I honestly hate living with her. On a side note she is really great with her nephews, And she does watch them for me so I do try to tolerate her… but she does make it very hard. Also she is very immature, she’s always talking about Fan-fic…and writing fan-fic….she’s like 30 yrs old I think it’s high time she grows up. She makes life annoying!

Do you guys have good communication? Have you both set down guidelines for living together? Any time people share a living situation, it’s a good idea to have open communication. And if it is your house, set some rules about the cleanliness, etc. You have a right to a clean house.
Honestly, the way you tell your story, it sounds like you’re equally to blame for the things that happen in your relationship with her.
No one can “drive you insane” or “make you go on meds.” You are choosing the way you react to her.
What does your husband think of this?
I beg to differ with the no one can drive you crazy statement. You haven’t had to live with her. So am I just supposed to be all nicey nice when she does nothing but sit on her lazy but? And I have put rules in place I have a list of rules on the side of my freezer that is in large clear print and hard to miss. Also Just an FYI I didn’t go on meds until she had to start spending all of her time at my house. And I am not equally to blame! That’s poppycock!
Just kick her out. Your life is more important. Its not your fault that no one wants her and that she is disabled.
