How do I deal with a meddling sister in law without alienating the whold family?

She interferes all the time, in many ways. She wants to be in control and based on what happen in the past, she meddled in our marriage, parenting and etc. She is having a vacation in our home at the moment. Me and my husband argue all the time ( one of the main reason is because of her.) She interferes and she gets involved despite the fact that she doesn't have a right to do so. I have accepted her in here into my home to have a vacation but instead of respecting and at least tell his brother off, she meddles and always have something to say in every situation. I would like her to shut her mouth as she is making the situation a lot worse.

The bottom line is, your husband has to support [b]you[/b] or you're not going to win that battle. It's his family and they will take his cue on how to treat you based upon what [b]he[/b] allows, unfortunately. If [b]he's[/b] letting them weigh in and get between the two of you, you've lost.

Unfortunately, he doesn't balls to do so. He seems to believe everything his sister say to him. I have stopped engaging in any conversations with both of them.@bijouxbroussard

@Bittersweet84 That’s an unfortunate situation. You should be able to keep anyone out of your home if they won’t treat you with respect. That’s impossible to do if your husband enables them. And he has to be the one to rein them in. Anything [b]you[/b] say or do will be perceived as an attack on his family—and you can count on them reporting it to [b]him[/b] from that perspective.
