Why can't in-laws, just mine their own business. I love my family, but my family realize that i have kids and a husband of my own. My mom lives less than five minute from me and i probably see her 5 times a year and 3 times she doesn't even come in. My sister in law on the other hand, lives 30 minute from us and i see her 5 times a week. She just comes and open my door without even knocking.My husband gave her a key, no one in my famiuly have a key. If one of my family members ask me to do something he gets upset. His sister runs him like a taxi cab.What woman do you know that will take care of her sister-in-law son for two years? and she lives 30 minute away form my house, signs his up for activites, drop his off and pick him up from schoola dn after-school activities. Buy his clothes and shoes, because i do not want him to feel lefted ou. What should i do? i am crying while write this, if i knew this was how is was going to be i would have not gotten married.

It went well! He is now starting to understand and see it for himself, now that i pointed it out. She will now take him on Fridays and he will total move in with her when the school season ends.

Thanks for your advise.I hope things are well.

That sounds like a good plan, a smooth transition for the child. I am so glad your hubby listens! Take care.
