Freeloading mom constantly visits sister-in-law unannounced at dinner time with 7-year-old and 9-year-old, flips out when she won't share her meal: 'I said I was sorry, but that's my dinner'

There are many levels to being in a serious relationship. Most of the time, it's not just your partner you need to worry about, but also their family. Many couples have fallen on tough times because of issues with in-laws, which can take many forms. They can be even more difficult to navigate when they aren't people who you grew up with.

For one woman, this has taken the form of her sister-in-law and her two kids frequently visiting her and her boyfriend unannounced at dinner time. While her partner has no problem enabling this behavior, she put her foot down one day when she was alone and her nephew wanted to try some of her meal. Neither her sister nor her boyfriend was happy with her establishing boundaries, but the people of Reddit were more on her side. There is a difference between hospitality and being a nuisance.
