[quote=Anonymous]Yeah, I agree with PPs who say be honest. Not brutal, but not sugar coated either. Just point out that the SIL meets the kids on their level, whereas your sister wants the kids to do adult things that aren't age appropriate for small children. You could throw out some ideas for fun activities and see how that goes. There's no rule that says you have to let your Debbie Downer sister take over your life though. She seems really negative, and I find that spending large amounts of time around very negative people affects my mental health. My home is my safe space, and I wouldn't want to feel like I'm walking on eggshells, nor should my children feel that way. If I wanted to spend time with her one on one, I might try to plan adult evenings away from home, but I'd probably just limit time with her. [/quote]
