How do I ignore what my family tells me?

How do I not let my families mean words effect me? My grandmas sisters grand daughter is living with us and she has for a while but cince i had my first child she has been very mean to me and I dont understand why? I have talked to her about it and she says she dosent want to talk about it. I would be okay with that if she didnt try to insult me or my husband every chance she gets. She says things like I have gained weight or my slippers are too noisy or i shouldnt be carrying so much i might drop it all. She is very negative and im just telling myself a million positive things over and over again and its not helping.

so she's being hateful.. why is she living there? tell her off or that she can move out
@YoMomma I would like to do both of thoes things but I can only work while my husband is not working because he would be the one to sit with our kids so we cant afford to move out and telling her off would lead to her being meaner to me.

@Girlyfriendcollecting she babysits your kid? maybe ask her why she feels like she should be mean to you? maybe she is not aware?
@YoMomma no my husband sits with the kids and in her opinion shes just pointing out the truth. I think its my job to grow a thicker skin. I just dont know how to do that.

@Girlyfriendcollecting What a terrible situation. Since you don't need her as a babysitter as you and your husband have different shifts, can you tell her she has to leave? She has no right being so dominant in your own house. I would tell her this is not working, you're going to have to find another place to live, because this really cannot continue for your own sake. You shouldn't suffer because of her. But then that's a terrible situation anyway because you do need her to watch the kids so that your husband can get some sleep when he gets home from work. Is there any way you can afford a babysitter? This woman has to stop.

@LadyGrace I agree. Tell her to pack her bags and get out!
