Is this worth the fight?
When I was 3 months pregnant my sister in law lived with us. She has had a major attitude with not only me, but my oldest daughter as well, because she felt like we took her older brother away from her.
She is entitled, spoiled and selfish. She lived with us rent free, and didn't pay for groceries. All she had to pay was the internet and we paid for everything else because she was supposed to be going to school. Mind you... she ended dropping all classes except for one! She is now in year 5 of getting her Associates! Did I mention she's lazy?
Anyways, when I was 3 months pregnant, her petty ass changed the WiFi password and would not tell us what it was, because she didn't want to pay for us to use the WiFi! When my husband said something to her, she got hella attitude and I snapped. I was tired of her shit and I told her that she was selfish, lazy, entitled and she was never going to get anywhere if she didn't try.
She called their mom and both her and their mom got in my face, called me names, yelled at me and his sister tried to lay hands on me! Again...I was pregnant! My husband lost it! He seriously was about to go to jail because he was going to do anything to protect me! I have not spoken to his sister or his mom since. And my husband and I came to the agreement that our daughter was never going to be around his sister because she didn't care about her well being while I was pregnant with her, why would we ever let her be a negative influence on her now?
Fast forward 2.5 years. We still have not spoken to his sister and my husband has limited contact with his mom. His dad has met our daughter twice and has not seen or even FaceTimed her in almost a year. Ever since his sister went on a cruise with their dad, step mom and my step son. She spoke so much crap about me that now my husbands son does not want to be around me. He never had an issue with me before, always said he loved me and that I was the best step mom. He's 15 and easily influenced. Needless to say his sister is an awful, evil mess!
Okay, so we recently moved to Las Vegas, my husbands dad ended up buying a house here as soon as he found out we were moving here. He has now planned a trip to come out here and he is flying out my husbands sister. So, my husband and I are now arguing because I am sticking to the fact that his sister is not going to be around our daughter! If his dad and step mom want to see her, they are more than welcome to, but not while his sister is there. My husband has all of a sudden changed his mind and does not care if his sister is there, as long as his dad can see his grand daughter. Again, I want his dad to have a relationship with our daughter. But, his sister can not be around her!
I'm pissed! If his dad can't even take the time to FaceTime our daughter, can't even take the time to see her when he has been in town before, and can't even respect our decision to not bring his sister around Ava, why should we bring Ava around him???
Am I being selfish, or should I put my foot down in this? I hope this all makes sense!
