New mom makes assertive step against entitled sister-in-law by refusing to host her for Christmas while caring for a newborn and sick mother-in-law

Holidays are supposed to be that time of year when you can let loose and connect with family in a carefree way. While these special days often include plenty of rest, relaxation, and delicious meals, they also tend to come with a side of family drama and tension. That's true even for families with very little simmering beneath the surface, but throw in a high-stress situation like caring for an ailing parent, and those cracks start to deepen fast.

For some families, tension shows up as passive-aggressive comments over dinner. For others, it turns into a full-blown standoff over who's doing their fair share. One woman and her husband have spent the last three years providing full-time care for his mother, building their entire lives around her needs while his sister has remained largely absent. And when she does swoop in for a visit, she doesn't hold back the criticism. Now, with the holidays approaching, her sister-in-law has mentioned wanting to stay in their home again — but with a newborn on the way, our narrator feels like she simply can't take on any more. So, she takes an assertive stance against her.
