I won't let my sister-in-law and her four kids stay with us for a few days. Am I wrong? - Yahoo News
Question: "Am I wrong for not letting my sister-in-law, 26, and her four kids (ages 1 to 8) stay at my house for a few days?
My sister-in-law recently bought a house. Before her family moves in, they have to do some renovations. They're currently living in a rental. There will be a four-day gap between when they have to be out of the rental and when the new house will (hopefully) be ready. I say hopefully because there's always delays with construction. They also live 1-hour away.
She messaged my husband asking if she could stay at our house for that time. Like a good brother he immediately wanted to say yes but given my tense history with his sister, he asked me for my thoughts. I said I would prefer it if she didn't. Her kids are wild and unhinged. They usually have help from a family member a couple of days during the week because she can't handle the kids on her own. Our house does not have any extra beds for all of them to sleep. Our only spare room is currently occupied by mother-in-law.
We live in an area that is constantly in and out of lockdowns due to COVID. The kids are also always sick. I am newly pregnant and no one knows yet. I don't want to take the risk of them bringing something into our house and putting us at risk.
My husband ended up messaging her to say that we wouldn't be able to host them, but we can find them a hotel nearby and pay for it. She didn't like that response and it has now made my husband resent me. (It's not the first time this has happened with her.)
So, am I wrong?"
Answer: Navigating family dynamics is so challenging for us all. It is not your fault that you and your husband came to an agreement about how to proceed, but then he changed his mind or felt resentment towards you. Communication can be difficult with our partners, and this may be an area you two really need to address as it's so important for the foundation and longevity of our relationships.
