[quote=Anonymous]SIL (13 years younger than DH) used to do this. DH still thinks of her as a kid (she isn't any longer) so that's how she acts when she's around us. The last time she came to visit she brought a friend with her, a guy she wasn't dating, and told us about him 2 days before she arrived. He was a dream guest! Cleaned the kitchen, picked up after himself, played with the kids, was incredibly gracious...and shamed SIL into acting better. I made sure to show my delight with him and comment on what a great house guest he was. Were SIL my own sister I would have put a stop to her expectations of being waited on constantly (after we purchase her plane ticket to come visit!) and having her toddler-esque eating habits catered to, but we have a strict "You deal with your family and I deal with mine" policy in our marriage. Say something to your sister. [/quote]
