Re: why its so hard to survive with inlaws
Dude all I've gotta say is living with inlaws is definitely the root of all evil. I don't care how nice they are. :)
Personally I would never live with my inlaws, one of the biggest reasons I decided to marry my husband was cuz he lived alone and everyone else in his family including his dad are independent. That being said, if someone is living in a joint system, they need time to adjust. Your sister has grown up a certain way and her inlaws will not be exactly like your family. Everyone will need to adjust to the new person. It won't be an over night process.
I do however think that your sister should be appreciated. It's funny cuz I was just talking to my husband about this last week. His sister was sick with a cold and he decided to have her cone live with us until she got better. Me being the veryblunt person I am said, two months ago I was sick and she didn't even call to ask me how I was doing and I was way more sick than her. (I normally dont care if someone calls to see how I'm doing but feel that if u don't do it then u shouldn't expect me to do it either). So the first day she got here I made her soup and food ( mind u, I rarely cook so this in itself was a big deal). She kept saying thank u whenever I did something but I constantly felt like I was being used since she never cared to call me. Then my FIL called and thanked me for taking care of his daughter. Yes I am mean. But if I don't like something, I speak up and make sure I'm heard.
