Plus: I moved into a house with this family, and now I want them out.
I provided vacations every summer and school clothes at the end of summer, hosted them for many Christmas breaks and made sure they had presents, and gave money to their mom.The youngest is getting married soon in my city. The wedding is small, and I did not make the guest list.The problem is my sister has asked to stay with me during the weekend of festivities, and I feel like it is a very insensitive request and rubbing my nose in the fact that I was not invited.
You can say no to your sister, but I think you should let her stay in your place and during this time you should do something special for yourself. Plan your own adventure out of town.: I’ve been dating my boyfriend for the past year. I brought my pets and moved in with him in December. He’s an amazing guy – the absolute best!He owns a three-bedroom house. Last July his sister and her family moved in with him. Now there are four adults, six kids, three cats and two dogs.
You have framed this as an issue of them crowding you out, but you made a choice to move in when they were already there. He sounds like a very generous person, but if he, you, his family members, their children and the animals are all miserable, then things need to change.
