It seems as if my MIL likes to blame me for her grandkids misfortunes in life.His sister and the kids dad wants to party and MIL wants us to care for the kids. It's putting a strain on our marriage as we are taking care of her too. I am resenting my SIL and MIL. The kids are rude,intolerable, and always around my husband and I. How can I get my husband and MIL to get SIL to step up to the plate? Reply to this Question

I'm not saying take care of them, but I am saying that life is more than achieving personal success

 Just say NO
"sorry I can't watch Sally's kids I have plans"
If you all live together, the first thing you must do is get your own place.
If you do not live with them, say NO and do not be home when they expect you to do it.
If your MIL asked you to shoot up heroin or rob a bank what would you do? YOU WOULD say NO.... it's the same thing. JUST SAY NO.

 You can't MAKE them do anything, but you and your husband can start setting limits to what you want to do. Are you all living together?
