26-year-old woman tells mooching in-laws to move out after they move with her from a 1-bedroom apartment to her and her husband's new home: ‘We are in the house and not talking at all’

Say it with us: It is not my duty to make other people's lives easier, all the time. Now repeat it. Again. Again!

Folks who grew up picking up the broken pieces of their family know that in times of trouble, they tend to have their head on straight. Those who didn't grow up facing adversity often fail to take matters into their own hands, but maybe that's for the best.

If the fixer-uppers bite off more than they can chew, they'll spend their entire lives trying to undo the damage they created for themselves when they thought they were being a helpful loved one. Sometimes, family will take advantage of family; it is in our best interests to look out for ourselves first. If we aren't standing tall, how are we supposed to be a village for someone else?

Dealing with freeloading family members is… an experience. On the one hand, you feel you owe it to them because you share DNA (or are married to someone who does). On the other… What happened to looking out for oneself? This isn't to say that nobody should ever inconvenience themselves to do a good deed… But when you become a doormat, you often assume the position for the rest of your life (or until someone raises the red flag in front of your face). The woman in this next story decides to stop letting her in-laws hijack her home, but her husband isn't helping her with the heavy lifting. Scroll below to read the full story.
