[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 562607, member: 3907"] Bunny, I think you've pegged it. If your sister in law is accustomed to always getting her way and never having to share decisions with other family members, then she's in the "rude awakening" phase of joining a larger family. If everyone's accommodated her until now, then her rude awakening will be that much bigger. If you're the first family member to push back, then no doubt she thinks this is a case of you being unreasonable, rather than doing what's best for your child and your family. Andy's suggestions about figuring out a way to help her fit into the larger group better are great. Very glad to hear that your mother in law is on your side. I wouldn't be surprised if your other sister in law is also relieved. Hope everything turns out wonderfully. [/QUOTE]
