My sister-in-law has a habit of going to my bedroom/bathroom for some reason whenever she visits with her husband, even though we have a potty room downstairs. She hasnt stolen anything, but the behavior just creeps me out. I find it very weird. Since I live with my inlaws, I cant complain to them either or outright confront her.What should I do?? Is this behavior abnormal or just lack of manners??Is there a name for such people??
P.S My friend says she feels threatened by me, in some way that is why she wants to see what I have, so she can better herself. She has more money than me, she has better stuff than me, so I am not sure that is the reason :-?

This is my husband's brother's wife and my husband is aware and feels like I do, but he also wants to avoid an unpleasant situation

you should worry. she is invading your privacy whether you live with relatives or not, this is your space.get a doorknob for your bedroom that has a lock and lock it. she's probably just NOSY. don't let her be. just lock the door. without a lock all rooms are fair game to her.

Life is too short to live uncomfortable. Ask her why don't she just use the downstairs bathroom and even tell her that it is much more convenient for her. It is possible that your sister-in-law thinks that she is suppose to use the bathroom upstairs. I would say that your friend is wrong about her thought of the situation. I don't see any reason why your sister-in-law would feel threatened by you. I can see where it could be a difficult discussion to have with her about the downstairs bathroom but something needs to be said so you can be comfortable at home. (smile)

Try locking your bathroom door while she is there. There really is no reason for her to have to use your bathroom if there is a more "public" one in the house. It is an invasion of your privacy and it is rude. It' easy enough to change doornobs to a locking one and they aren't terribly expensive - give it a shot and see what happens. You LIVE in that house - you have a right to be comfortable there. I assume by the way you have written this that it is your husband's sister. Talk to him about it and see what he has to say, but in the end it is your comfort that matters not his explanations for her behavior.

I realize you feel invaded...I would just ask her up front what the deal is with her wanting to go and "drop off the kids in your pool" upstairs rather than using the one downstairs..Make sure you don't confront her alone...I personally would let my husband know...and then let him be there when you talk to her about it....I'm sure she'd confront you if the situation were reversed....hope this helps..

whatever the reason, it's wrong. even if you're living with your in-laws, that is your personal space and she has no right to be in there. i'd say something for sure.
