[quote=Anonymous]My SIL is a socially awkward, mean 37 yo. Never married. Will probably never marry. She and ILs live 3000 miles away. She lives separately from ILs, moved out at 30.  We have 5 kids and ILs only grandkids. SIL loves to control MIL.  My DH is retiring from the military this week. He invited his parents, who are coming.  MIL is already here, FIL is joining with SIL Monday. SIL was never specifically invited. We maintain no relationship with her. Our 18 you daughter specifically dislikes her.  She never calls or texts any of our family.  Ever.  I will text her every now and again to no response.  Last year she tagged along uninvited again for daughters graduation.  
Last year she complained of sleeping arrangements as she was in my office, and I had to get her up so I could work. She booked an online painting class with Jodie Sweetin that we had to clear out of our open concept dining room for her to participate in. My MIL stressed the whole day about this and shushed us in our adjacent tv room during the debacle. SIL planned tours for in laws that meant they couldn’t go to dinner for daughters graduation. This year - through my MIL — she’s demanded a room in our house devoted to her so she can telework while here. With 2 separate monitors and preferably the room she sleeps in. We were also planning on going to the beach with MIL this weekend, but MIL refused to join because SIL thought it was unfair to come to our house empty (with her dad) for 16 hours. SIL does nothing for ILs - they cook for her and watch her dog.  
I’m looking for advice on how to make it clear she is not invited to these events ever again and to get through the next week with my very full house (no pun intended).  [/quote]
