MIL Forces My SIL to Hold MY Baby - I'm Going Crazy! 😤

I'm a new mom with a 5-month-old, and I'm struggling with something that's driving me absolutely insane! 😩 Every time we visit my mother-in-law, she basically forces my sister-in-law to hold my baby, even when I clearly say I'm fine holding him myself. What really gets under my skin is how my MIL will literally tell her daughter to "come hold the baby" while I'm sitting right there! 🙄 And don't even get me started on how my SIL just reaches out her hands toward my baby without even asking ME first - like, hello, I'm his mom! The worst part? My MIL constantly gushes about how "in love" my SIL is with my baby and how she's "in her glory." Since my SIL already has two kids and this is my first, I feel like they think I don't know what I'm doing. 😔 Am I being too possessive, or is this totally out of line? Have any of you dealt with pushy in-laws who don't respect your boundaries as a new mom? I desperately need to know I'm not alone in feeling this way! 💭 #NewMomStruggles #MILProblems #BoundaryIssues #FamilyRelationships

Living with My Boyfriend's Sister is a Nightmare​😤👫

Living with my boyfriend’s sister has been an absolute disaster. I can’t stand her—she has zero sense of boundaries. Six months ago, we moved in together to prepare for married life. But just two months later, she started using our place as her own, citing school reasons. The final straw? She uses my skincare products without asking—and I caught her using my razor! I’ve complained to my boyfriend repeatedly, but he just brushes it off, saying, “We’re family now; don’t nitpick.” My patience is wearing thin, and I’m seriously considering breaking up. How do you handle in-laws who don’t respect your space? #BoundaryIssues #LivingWithInLaws #BoyfriendDrama #RelationshipStruggles #ToxicFamilyDynamics
