[quote=Anonymous]OP - I understand you completely. I have the same issue with my SIL. Attractive, well educated, and good jobs but has never had a boyfriend at the age of 45. I love that she wants to be close to my kids but she oversteps boundaries all the time and her expectations of us are way too high. She expects that we are taking her and MIL on vacation with us every summer (and paying for lodging, car, food, and most activities). She is upset with us because we told her we were planning a family trip by ourselves this summer. It’s really bizarre. Both MIL and SIL are single and are overly reliant on us to meet their emotional needs. It is stressful and caused a lot of conflict because they make plans or have assumptions and expectations about how we should spend our time and money with them without being invited or asking if it is something we want. Last year, MIL invited SIL to stay at our house for over a week for my son’s birthday and didn’t tell us. They couldn’t understand why we were upset about her surprise visit. The only advice I have is to firmly set boundaries. It’s hard but I’m finally doing it. [/quote]
