[quote=Anonymous]OP, how often are you seeing SIL and her kids (or trying to)? I'm very introverted, grew up as an only, and I LOVE my BILs and SILs and their kids. None of them are local so when we all get together it's complete madness and great. However, I can only take everyone for so long before I need to be alone or with only my nuclear family...it took me a while to learn my boundaries and enforce them respectfully. Are you trying to get together multiple times a week? That may be too much for your SIL. You could see if the kids could do something like Facebook Messenger together, my kid and his cousins loved doing that during the pandemic (they're in the 6-9 range). You set a timer so as not to go too long. I do feel like that there are ways to address this from your side rather than jumping to "how do I change her?" Because we all know one cannot make another person change.[/quote]
