There really is no home like the parents’ home. This is exactly what is wrong with living with extended family for any length of time. You find out (or reinforce) all the things you can’t stand about the opposite person. And no matter how polite and respectful you are, they’ll always find something to blame you for.

Mona, I wouldn’t be surprised if you went into her kitchen and cooked up a little something, your sister-in-law wouldn’t have minded. Would have given her more time with her other, ahem, duties.

I feel quite sad for that adorable niece of yours. This is the time in her life when she needs good structure, and loving care over her every minute of life. Your sister-in-law might be very depressed and lonely over her separation from her family if she needs to talk to them so much, to the point of neglecting her child.

Ay caramba. When they are two it’s when their personalities start to form, they begin to learn some basics like colors etc….this is the time to enjoy your child because trust me, they grow up so fast. Mine is 21. I miss that little girl of mine…now I can only capture that moment through videos and pictures. At least you can tell this is not healthy. I wonder if your sister in law has depression issues or simply stays up too late? Your niece is beautiful and I hope one day your sister in law wakes up and realizes she needs to simply enjoy these moments before they are lost.

@Sayyed I was not planning to it. I wanted to save money though, but now.. no way. @Janet She told me when we were not here, she sleeps on the couch in front of her all morning long.

I agree with Janet, she needs to start acting like an adult. This is not a healthy situation for a 2 year old child.

First of all I have to say :up: for what you wrote. I was also raised that when we have guests we treat them with respect. I also don’t like to go into someone else’s kitchen and mess around with their things and like you I am quiet and usually don’t say anything. I am flabbergasted that your sister in law sleeps in so late esp. with such a young child. God only knows when you leave what that poor kid does while mom sleeps in. The baby (for 2 is still a baby to me) needs interaction, be fed on time, diaper changed, etc….Glad you will be going home soon but am shocked over the behavior of this woman who is now a part of your family. She needs to grow up. Sorry if that sounds harsh but now that she is married and has a child she needs to act like an adult.

You said from the begining that you are not going to you brother’s house because of his wife and his way of living, so what change you mind?

AHA! Show him how it’s done before you leave.

@Keith
She talks to her sisters. My brother still has this politeness in him that he was raised with. He needs a lot more anger cells before he cracks!
