My sister-in-law and her three dogs: what should I do?

She has more "right" to be there than you do. Not that any normal grown-up should live in their parent's or in-law's home. You are both losers but at least she isn't complaining.

+1. I agree. What is this family house thing?

If it's not your house, you have no say in who lives there.

If it's not your face, you have no say in who licks it.

If it's not your bed, you have no say in who sleeps in it.

You're right that you "have some serious issues," but your sister-in-law and her dogs don't make the list.

I'm lovin.

I feel like the phrase "family home" is the living arrangement version of "fiancé", where the man in question is someone you have been living with for years and have children with, no date set for a wedding and you are paying the bills.

A phrase, like "fiancé" in some cases, used to deflect from what is actually going on, which is freeloading off your inlaws.

I'm assuming you are a sociopath or just kidding. Horrible. Just horrible.

What in the world is the family home? If it is YOUR home and/or you pay the entire mortgage, the dogs go (or SIL does.)

If it is someone else's home I would suggest you move out as the situation sounds weird and annoying. Otherwise, impose a rule that they aren't allowed in your bedroom.

Do you live in America? I've heard of the "family home" concept but not here. And it doesn't sound like it is your family's home. Take it to your MIL and let her decide, assuming it is her home.

Retreat to your space in the family home and stay there.

Agree with PPs, is this your house in that YOU pay the mortgage?

Ilyana? Is this you?!

Are you seriously complaining about Sveta's dogs here? Rather than having face-to-face?

I hate dogs, but if the "family home" means you are living in the in laws house, MILs daughter takes priority over you.

I would get an apartment and move out.
