Am I wrong (mother in law/sister in law issue)?
My husband and I bought a home and my mother and father in law are living with us (they will be retiring soon and thought it would be wise to have them help us out with the bill [they "rent"] considering we are 1st time home buyers..etc) -
my sister in law lives about 10 minutes away (neighboring town) and has 2 wonderful kids (we don't) - my mother in law is CONSTANTLY inviting them over and there are days and times that I just don't want them around! I have no problem with my MIL nor my FIL (considering we have separate living areas) but my sister in law is annoying and a pain in my neck! She always has the kids sleepover...etc and I know we have sep. living spaces but it's still a one family home and any cry, fight and whine is heard from everywhere
Am i wrong to tell my MIL my sentiments and tell her to go their house instead of always coming to ours?

these are issues that should have been ironed out before you moved in together but they were not. so all you of sit down and talk together explain how you feel but that you don't want this spoil the excellent relationship you have, but also you have to say something as it bothers you and you don't want it to become a big issue. You are not wrong in saying because you all live there if they have problems you would listen and try accommodate

If you are ALLOWING your in laws to live with you then you are causing the problems not them. If you don't want the problems you are having then you shouldn't have your in laws living with you. Obviously if you couldn't have afforded a home on your own you should never have gotten yourselves into debt. Don't blame your in laws for your lack of financial judgment and having to have them move in with you. If you don't want the children around you are going to have to tell your in laws that they can no longer live with you.

It is your house and you have a right to voice your opinion but because they rent from you, you really cant demand that they always go over your sister in laws house. Be sincere in your opinion and maybe they will understand. Good luck!

Your mistake is inviting the inlaws to live with you. The problems are already beginning and will get worse as time goes by.

It probably wouldn't hurt to suggest she stay over at their place at least every other visit. Do it gently before your tension with the situation gets any worse. Good luck!
