Hi everyone..
I am an avid reader here.Posted my problem once.Things are as usual.MIL and SIL's dramas continue.But after reading posts here,I am in a better condition to deal with them.
I am keeping a safe distance with them and except financial help,I am trying not to let them disturb me or my family..
The current issue is-
My SIL's son who is a teenager is moving with us for his studies.Actually DH and I shifted to a bigger city a few months back as we got better package here.MIL is with us most of the times and goes to SIL only when she has to give money etc..
SIL wanted to shift with us on pretext of her kids' studies as there are better colleges and schools here.
But I kept my foot down and my husband also agreed that I will not get any help from her and rather,issues will only rise..
So,my SIL proposed that both her kids should be sent here.A lot of arguments and discussions took place and finally it was decided that her son,who is now going to appear for boards will come with us.DH gave in to my MIL and SIL's emotional drama..
There isn't much which I can do now.Although I have set a few ground rules in front of DH that I need my privacy and our family life should not be disturbed.Plus,SIL should not come here every few days on pretext of meeting her son etc..
These were the only issues I could think of..
Husband says its only for a couple of years.Once he gets into college,he'll move to some other place..I am quite stressed..
Please tell me if I should have fought and avoided this?Actually,whatever issues I have with my MIL and SIL,I felt it was very immoral to deny her son the opportunity to study in a better school here..
She is a single mother-not working and her son is her only hope..So,I agreed..But it is giving me sleepless nights to think of future issues which could crop up..
Please tell me if I was wrong in this decision?Also what all things should I keep in mind when having SIL's son permanently with us now and MIL also with us most of the time?
Thanks
