Family…

My husband’s brother is leaving for Mexico soon and asked us to stay a couple of days with us until he leaves. I thought this to mean two or three days. Him, his girlfriend and 3 month old baby are staying at my house. They are not leaving for Mexico until May 25th!!! On top of this a friend needed a place and he is also there. My daughter graduates in three weeks and I am babysitting my 9 month old nephew because my mom had surgery and can’t for 3 months. And I work 12 hours a day 5 days a week. How do I keep from losing control. My husband keeps apologizing for the situation but I do not know if I can make it through the month! HELP!!!!

Does this guy and his girlfreind work? If not make them watch the nephew for you so that you can have more time to do other things. Have them take your daughter around and do her graduation things. Make all these other people chip in. Its nice that you let them stay, now make them earn their supper. If they are unwilling kick them out, it will be their own fault. Make your husbend step up and control his bother, you shouldnt be doing it.

And, you should be perfectly comfortable taking some time off for yourself. Perhaps you should suggest to your husband that the two of you start having a night out together once a week, just so you have a fighting chance of staying sane.

After all, you aren’t going to be a good hostess if you are clinging to the end of your rope all the time!
