MysticMerlinIt’s great that I don’t have to have children. My husband wants to take all the giant babies from his family 😳🏠
Last night, my husband (35M) dropped a bombshell: he wants his mom, sister, and her two kids to move in with us here in Miami. I (32F) was floored. We’ve worked so hard for our peaceful, child-free life, and now he expects me to just accept a house full of people I didn’t choose? He’s always felt responsible for them, but at what cost? I told him straight up—I’m not sacrificing our goals or working extra to support his entire family. He just sat there, silent, like I’d betrayed him. Am I being selfish for wanting boundaries? Or is it fair to protect the life we built together? How do I get through to him without tearing us apart? Help! 😩💸 #MarriageStruggles #FamilyDrama #FinancialBoundaries #RelationshipAdvice #RomanticRelationships

Sounds like your husband has lost his damn mind...If he want his mom, sister, and her 2 kids to be under the same roof with him, he better move in with them somewhere else, because you shouldn't be obligated to take in a house full of in-laws and kids. A husband should "cleave unto his wife" after marriage, which means that you're his priority. If he insist, I'd pay attention to the 🚩red flag warning, and consider jumping ship, because it's bound to get worse having 2 other women in your house, having opinions about how you run YOUR household!🤷🏾♀️

it takes a lot of nerve to tell your wife that my mother, sister, and her kids are moving in. I would tell him that if they move in, I am moving out and finding my own place.

no you aren't being selfish. extended family living off of family as freeloaders or worse adult children living off of seniors often mentally ill or demented seniors just like codependent family members have a tendency to ruin these people's lives while living off of them and their hard work or investments.

They'll all gang up on her. She's going to end up as the housekeeper, go-fer, nanny, chauffeur, and jack of all trades.
If she goes into her room she'll be accused of being unfriendly, unkind, selfish and uncooperative.
Don't quote the Bible on living together as the Bible is addressing the way of life at the time. It was a tribal hierarchy which is not in Western culture.

My brother married a woman and his mother in law and brother in law would “visit” for 8 months out of the year. Now they live with them. All their marital problems are related to them being there and his resentment of having no alone time with his wife and family because they are always in the home. He never would have married her had he known this would happen. I would not tolerate it. You deserve to preserve your own peace.

No way. A man is supposed to leave his family and become one with his wife. Any man that puts his anyone between him and his wife is not committed to his marriage. He has to be a man in this situation and say sorry, but he can not allow them to live with you. Period. They will take priority over you in every way, and the stress will be unbearable, and then he will still want to be intimate with you. you
Your marriage will plummet.

Once they move in, they will start ruining your furniture, and the kids will start breaking things, and they will NEVER LEAVE. If this is NOT something you want to do for ten years or more, start divorce proceedings, put your home on the market, take the things you want, and cut your losses.

Absolutely NO. They are adults and need to accept responsibility. You and your husband are responsible for you two! He needs to quit enabling them!

I’m 75 and still work so I don’t have to get in the middle of my kids lives. I’m not in the best of health but I manage. Don’t disrupt your children’s lives if you can still work and support yourself. Sister needs to support herself and kids. Don’t ask your wife to change her lifestyle for your freeloading family.
