how do i tell her no?

Question

me and my hubby are currently living with my MIL after we ran into some financial issues.
my hubby has a 16 year old sister who is always asking me if she can come into our room and play video games on my husband's computer while he's at work... I would not mid this, but when she plays her games she will scream at the top of her lungs to other players, usually cursing every 4 letter word you can think of. and she will stay for hours.
now I under no obligation have to let her in our room, but I don't want to come off as harsh to her.
tell me how you would tell her kindly that she can't play video games on the computer anymore, I'd love the advice 👍

Answer

Have your husband tell her she can't 🤷🏼‍♀️

Answer

Can't the computer just be moved to another room in the house?

Answer

I’d just be up front and tell her the way she plays irritates you and give her a time limit to play and if she violates your rules then she can’t come back.

Answer

Maybe you can explain that you don’t want to hear cursing and she can play for “x” amount of time.

Answer

Just kindly say you want some quiet time for yourself that you don't mean to be rude but you need your alone time for  a bit.

Answer

Just say “nah”

Answer

Tell her she can play if she doesnt yell and she can only stay for a set length of time. If she doesnt abide by the boundaries tell her you're sorry but she can't play there.

Answer

Talk to her about it.

Answer

Buy her a laptop. Second hand ones are so cheap these days.

Answer

Say, well honestly its annoying when you’re screaming your head off and no one wants to hear that type of swearing.   If you wouldnt mind letting her play if she doesnt do that then she’ll prob stop if you’re up front. If she says she wont and does again, call her out.  Why beat around the bush? She’s your family.
