1) It's time for her to move out.
2) Marriage counselors are only partially helpful.
3) Take your family and go spend a weekend together and make some family time.
4) Talk to your wife.
5) Talk to your wife. She married you for a reason.
My wife and I have been married for almost 35 years, and had a lot of challenges. It takes work. But good things take work. And immediate family can be destructive. -
Thanks @rutee07 and @iAmNaN
My wife and I got a chance to talk to each other about it tonight, I’m usually very diplomatic and will try my best to be diplomatic here as well. The tricky part is dealing with her ‘14 year old attitude/mentality’. She reads far too deeply into stuff and then ignores our existence and attempts to fix the issues when we try to start a civilized conversation. So she tells us we need to talk, so we say okay. Then she bails and is gone for hours... comes back late at night and gets mad at us for being up to talk then. -
@zemaitis naw dude, if a gremlin, Augutus Gloop, and a dumpster fire had a love child; it would be my sister-in-law.

My sister-in-law is a real fucking piece of work. My wife and I pay her to watch our daughter, who is 1.5 years old. She lives with us practically rent free (less than 0.5 of what she was having to pay in rent at her previous living situation). And as of late, my wife and I have been going through rough marital issues. Our marriage counsellor advised as ‘homework’ to write down a few things that would make us happy; individually of our partner, in our relationship.
Something I put down was, ‘that I want our daughter to be more mentally stimulated’ since she’s curious and inquisitive as fucking hell right now. And that I wanted us to find child care that would nurture her more than my sister-in-law does.
(She sits our daughter and one other little girl she watches down in the front room to watch the disney channel all day long. Sometimes she’ll talk to her friends for a few hours throughout the day on the phone. And makes them lunch and snacks when they are hungry.)
I’ve been looking into a daycare center that specializes in teaching kids early reading and writing along with a program that starts at 2 to focus on dancing or on music. They only want like $75 more per week and food and snacks are included in the weekly cost.
That being said I had written down my things for my ‘homework’ assignment. My daughter ended up getting a hold of it and brought it to my sister-in-law who now has a major attitude about this whole thing...
:side note:
My wife and I were struggling financially a bit earlier in the year and she helped us with gas money a few times and helped with some basic groceries and stuff. But today she just threw all of that ‘help’ back into my face.
If I had fucking known that you were going to hold that shit over my head and weaponize it against me because you feel hurt by the fact that you are a shit child care provider in my eyes then you can go smoke a fucking tailpipe you cum guzzling gutter slut!
