This woman is currently married, but a while ago, her husband’s family– including his brother, sister-in-law, and their two children under the age of 5– decided to move to their town from out of state.

And, while her brother-in-law’s family looked for a house, she and her husband agreed to let them stay at her home.

“After that decision was made, I got pregnant,” she said, “And we are now expecting our first child. We will be welcoming our baby in a couple of months.”

The problem, though, is that her brother-in-law’s family is still living at her house– which is just too small for so many people.

According to her, it is constantly chaotic due to so many people living there, and her brother-in-law’s kids are constantly running around the house, singing and screaming all day long. The children even chase her dog and get the pup really riled up, too.

Now, her husband is currently working a lot, which is why he isn’t home to witness the chaos every single day. However, she isn’t working right now.

“So I am home a lot of the time, and it has honestly been really overwhelming since they moved in,” she admitted.

She has tried to be okay with their current living arrangement in order to support her husband, who’s just trying to help out his family. But, with her due date inching closer and closer, she knows that she just won’t feel comfortable with his family living in their home after she has her baby.

But, ever since voicing her opinion on this, it’s caused some tension and arguments between her and her husband.

One of the main points they disagree on is the fact that she wants her husband’s family to be given a clear deadline as to when they must move out. Her husband, on the other hand, believes that she should just be fine with being “temporarily inconvenienced” while his family needs help.

Quite frankly, though, she has absolutely no idea what her husband’s definition of “temporary” is, and time is of the essence.

“Not to mention, I would love to have some peace and quiet in the home before our life is changed forever with the arrival of our first child,” she vented.

Still, with so much tension between her and her husband now, she’s been left wondering if wanting his family to move out before her baby arrives is really so unreasonable or not.

Do you think she has a right to a peaceful home prior to having a baby? Would you be annoyed by the vague timeline, too? How should she handle this situation?
