My mother-in-law hates me

I called my sister last night and told her what had happened with my MIL. She said she would like to spend some time with me so I wouldn't be facing this alone. She just graduated from high school and will be 18 in 2 weeks. If dad would pay for her ticket, she would like to spend 2 months with me.

At first I was elated, then I started thinking about how she was with men and I wasn't so sure. I told her I would have to talk it over with my husband because we always made decisions together. So she is waiting for me to call her back tonight.

It would be wonderful to have her here for the summer, we could go out while hubby was working and I wouldn't be alone. I'm sure having her here would get me out of this depression. However, if she started acting up or got in trouble I would be responsible. Nothing is ever easy for me, I want her here but I don't want the responsibility.

I agree, all decisions when married should be made together

There tends to be a positive and a negative in alot of things in life, "on one hand this would be great, on the other hand this may not be so great"... That's pretty normal.

Simply put, you are responsible she is younger than you but it's your house, so your rules, just let her know that you can't wait for her to be with you, you need her with you but you could not handle any trouble at this point, so no flirting or sneeking off

I talked it over with hubby last night. He liked the idea my sister spending time with me, he said he was worried about me being alone every day he had to work.

She wasted no time getting ready to leave and will be here tomorrow evening. She will be 18 on July 5 so technically she will be an adult. While hubby is working, we can spend a lot of time at the beach. I'll love that and can't wait.

That's fantastic

Hun then there are no responsibilities she's her own person now, just enjoy her for who she is as she does you as there is a lot of love there between you two..
