Why does anything you do for someone have to be reciprocal? Can't her husband just also help his sister-in-law out of the kindness of his heart? Why is it about owing favors, or making things “equal”? I think it's kind of a strange way to approach the situation. If he wants to help his SIL he should be able to, even if it's not about the taxes. I wonder if he ended up helping her, or how he feels about it. The protagonist sounds kind of jealous.

“Stop seeing him as free labor”: Pregnant woman forces brother-in-law to build her baby’s nursery and in exchange will do his taxes, his pregnant wife puts her foot and does them before she can
Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. In this life, it's not always easy to know your own boundaries with other people or to establish them. Sometimes people may use us whether we're aware of it or not. When it's through family relationships, this becomes even more complicated. How does one distinguish between love and manipulation? Or between love and mistreatment? When love is involved, everything comes from a tender place, a vulnerable place, a place where you want to see the best in someone, and hope that they have the best intentions.
No one wants to feel like a family member or someone else is taking advantage of them. Sometimes it takes the perspective of a partner, or someone else close to us to see the true intentions behind one's actions.
In the story below, the protagonist is a pregnant woman who feels as though her sister-in-law is using her husband for her own gains. She takes matters into her own hands, and instead of letting it continue, she does what she needs to do to make sure it doesn't happen again.
