I need help - I have SIL problems. some of you may remember my brothers wife had a baby 3 weeks before I did - her first as well. We get along quite well, I enjoy her company but she is the sort of person that will only do what she wants to do and manipulates others into doing what she wants so that she doesn't have to ask.
ok my problem is this. She thinks that we we can spend all day every day together..... My brother is a chef and gets Tues and Weds off - thankfully that means she spends time with him, but the other week days means she is here ALL day. I don't know wht to do.
We go for long walks which is very good and I enjoy them, but she then stays for up to 6 hours. I made the stupid mistake of giving her a key a while ago (she lives close by and I thought it might be andy to have a spare key offsite) problem is, she now lets herself in using the excuse 'I didn't want to wake Charlie by ringing the bell' - so now I don't even have the option to hide when she drops around because she'll just let herself in.
I don't know what to do - DH is furious I gave her a key, I can't work up the courage to ask her not to let herself in.
This morning she rang to see what I was doing and I said I needed to get Charlie settled into his morning routine, as we're having problems with day time sleep and perhaps we could go for a walk in the arvo - she said, no worries, Ava will be up at 10.30 so I'll see you around 11...... was I not clear enough???
It wouldn't be a problem if we have heaps to talk about - but we just go over the same stuff all the time. Birth this, pregnancy that, Baby this - annoying husband that (bearing in mind her husband is my brother, but that doesn't stop her from *****ing about him)
aarrrrgggghhhhhh I have to type fast because I know she'll be here soon, and she'll let herself in and I don't want her to read this over my shoulder.......... what a chicken!!!
