Your sis in law is in no position to "demand" anything. The fact that she does anyway tells me that you and your husband have failed to draw some clear boundaries. You need to do this right away - and your husband needs to be the one to deliver the message, as this is his family that is causing problems. Once they see you and him presenting a united front, they will think twice about trying to manipulate you individually. Specifically about the baby-visiting question: Simply say "When we want to come over and visit, we will call first to see if it's convenient to you." You don't owe anyone any explanations as to why you're staying where you're staying.

Take it from someone who has a lot of experience with in laws from hell.Put a stop to them telling you what to do and how to do it now.Or they will keep it up and it doesn't matter if you live in the same state or not.You need to politely tell your sis in law that it is your child and you and your husband not her will make the decisions on when and were it goes some place.Be firm and don't show any signs of wavering.They are like dogs they can smell fear on you.You have the right to live your life without interference from others.You might want to talk to your hubby first and see if he would be willing to talk to his family.They might take you more seriously if he is the one who lays down the law with them.Good Luck you are going to need it.

i've got have been given a great answer i think of of. Timing for a pair has no longer some thing to do with some thing, that's as quickly as you the two are waiting etc. I remember being in my 20s and annoying that i'd desire to in no way settle dow and function a relatives. Then I surely have been given into my 30's the region i'm now, and that i'm no longer annoying in any admire approximately it. i think of of you the two recognize on an identical time as that's surprising. Plus, that's ok to be on an identical time for inspite of the reality that long and not be married. that's what society expects people etc...and then we adventure in charge or some thing for going 'against the grain". i've got have been given in no way married and persons used to ask on an identical time as i replaced into going to calm down, I purely say, i'm uncertain yet =) Heck; you would be able to precise be engaged for ten years and besides the shown fact that no plans to tie the knot. that's inspite of YOU 2 decide to do! maximum appropriate desires!

Tell your sister-in-law that YOU and YOUR HUSBAND will decide when and how often the baby visits. She has no legal or moral right to make any demands at all. The way and location you and your husband and child choose to live is NONE of their business

Your husband shoudl point out to his family that they can visit the baby at your house if they would like , otherwise for them to stop making demands unless they want a deaf ear turned to them. I had the same problem. It is hard. It is something that both of you have to be 100% united on for it to work, otherwise they will pit you against him.

Key Words... YOUR BABY! dont let your family pressure you to do anything that you dont want to with your new family. esp. your sister in law. yes it should be equal seeing rights cuz you are all one big family now, but life isnt always perfect. make your husband settle the differences between his immediate family and his sister. have cookouts on weekends where both families get to see all of you, go to dinner with his family once in a while, but point of the matter is. your new family is YOURS not your husband's sister. your family has 18 years ta see the kid so dont worry and keep your chin up

Did you marry into the Hitler's? ;-)

That's a wee bit extreme. To ask you to visit because they'd like to see the baby is sweet and wonderful. They want to be involved and they should be. To demand is WAY over the top.

I explain to your sister in law that you'll come when you can, but your busy schedule makes it simply impossible for you to comply with her request. Do show up sometimes, preferably at a regular time.

I would be more than happy to share the gift God shared with them.I also would tell them that you will let them see your kids but, itwill have to be on your schedule unless otherwise decided. Don'ttake me the wrong way, I only feel this way because I have grandkids I haven't seen in years. I would work out a plan that fits bothschedules. Let the little one know just how many people do love him or her.

Time to tell your sis in law to get a life. She can't make demands of you. She sounds overbearing and frankly...... stupid. Unless she can get in the car and come to your house, get your baby, take baby back to her house, three times a week, how can she possibly inforce this. Politely ignore her insane requests.

In one word "move" that's the answer. While I was building my house my father in law decided to come and see me, drunk and read me all kids of rules and regulations. I told him I wasn't married to him, I had No reason to have him around, I didn't need him. I never stopped my wife from visiting them, her folks, but, I never spoke to them again, for over thirty years and do you know what? I didn't miss them.
