I Evicted My Sister-In-Law After She Left Biohazards In My Home. Now My Husband....- Reddit Stories

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
I evicted my sister in law after she left biohazards
in my home, leading to family conflicts. Now my husband
is stuck outside with her. My spouse has a sister
and two brothers. I'm not really fond of his sister
and her spouse. After losing their house, they have recently
been CouchSurfing. This may have been prevented had they behaved sensibly.
They initially remained with my in laws, but they were

(00:22):
asked to leave because of their unruly kids, citing my
father in law's diabetes. After their elder children moved out,
they then moved in with my husband's older brother and
his wife, who had two extra rooms. However, they were
forced to leave after three weeks due to planned renovations.
They helped out around the house and generally kept things clean,
so the older brother and his wife were pleased with them.

(00:42):
The younger brother then moved in with them. The sister
in law SI L assisted and managed her kids while
they were there, since her mother was coming to help
with the baby. The youngest brother's wife, who was quite
proud of her home and had just given birth, let
them remain for a while. Finally, my husband agreed to
take them in, and after being emotionally coerced, I only
agreed if they kept the house tidy, especially because they

(01:05):
had previously been untidy in my house. For instance, they
would throw trash next to the trash can but not inside,
frequently leaving behind dried and odorous food remnants. Even worse,
instead of putting her old sanitary towels into the bathroom bin,
Sil would frequently leave them on top of it. I
asked the youngest brother's wife about their neatness before they
moved in. According to her, everything was maintained tidy and orderly,

(01:28):
so they had no complaints. But during family get togethers
over the holidays, I had personally witnessed how they behaved
differently in other households than mine. I made my youngest
brother and my parents in law witnesses to their pledge
to help out around the house and to keep it
as tidy as they found it. In order to maintain accountability.
They would have to depart right away if they disobeyed
these regulations. Sil consented, but retorted mockingly, as you wish,

(01:52):
your highness. It was all right for the first five days.
Then this morning I discovered a used incorrectly wrapped sanitary
towel on top of the trash can. Her daughter, who
was staying in my daughter's room, placed a used tampon
on the sink and smashed the shampoo and conditioner in
the bathroom. Additionally, because Si L's husband had left for
work early, the kitchen was in disarray. I couldn't risk

(02:14):
my inquisitive toddler picking up a bloody sanitary towel. I
knocked on the door of the guest room and instructed
her to gather her belongings and go. With an indignant expression,
she asserted her innocence and said I could throw it
away if it bothered me. It was just some blood.
The final straw was that, after grabbing her luggage, I
began packing her things. She refused to leave the house

(02:35):
at first, claiming that she didn't follow my instructions and
that she was going to wait for her brother. I
informed her that I also owned this house. A few
hours ago, I dropped her off at my in laws
with her youngest children. Her husband made a scene when
I wouldn't let him in. After he returned from work,
he visited my in laws, but because of Phil's sickness,
they don't want them there. Within twenty minutes after my

(02:57):
husband got home from work, my in laws and her
family were in our driveway. They are still arguing about
being allowed inside. While standing outside, I warned my husband
that he was not welcome in our house either if
he backed down, and I wouldn't open the door. Second paragraph,
first update, A little update. My driveway appeared to be
the scene of a Mexican stand off yesterday. I declined

(03:19):
to walk out and participate in the conversation while they
were out there two hours two whole hours later, they
were gone. They are at my in laws right now,
but they said they would come back tomorrow when everyone
would be home from work, to talk about the situation
and come up with a practical answer. That's what my
hubby told me. Anyway, I informed my husband that I
would not have them in my home as soon as

(03:39):
he entered. Additionally, he cleaned up after them when I
instructed him too. He asked me why I made him
do it after he had cleaned up. I informed him that,
in contrast to him, I was not biologically linked to
other people, and that I was equally repulsed by their
bodily fluids. I went on to say that he could
only image how awful I used to feel when I
had to clean up after them. If he thought it
was dirty, he bleached the sink three times and said

(04:02):
he would buy a new bin. We have a plan
for tomorrow that states they will never move in with us.
He left the task of cleaning up the shampoo and
condition her mess in the bathroom to his niece. Our
daughter is welcome to use our shower in the Meanwhile, tomorrow,
we'll see how this plays out. Third paragraph, second update.
It was a long day with my in laws yesterday.

(04:23):
We left early in order to finish it. A guilt
trip was the first thing my in laws did. They
first said they would house them until they found a place,
but it wouldn't be good for FIL's health because of
his diabetes. In order for them to stay with them,
because they have extra bedrooms, I advised them to advise
their daughter to discipline her kids so they wouldn't run
around like monkeys. Si L wasn't pleased about that. She

(04:45):
launched into a diatribe, accusing me of trying to sour
relations between her and her brother and claiming that I
had always envied her. I told her that since she
didn't like her own life, it was unrealistic for me
to be envious of hers. Since my husband never gets
involved in my family's affairs. She wondered whether he would
mind if I told him what to do with his family.
She instructed him to establish the rule and let me

(05:06):
know that his sister and her family would remain for
however long it took them to relocate. That was unacceptable
to my hobby. He informed her that it was a
two yes, one no situation and that the house belonged
to me equally to his. Even though I was now
a stay at home wife, I still made contributions to
the house's purchase when I was employed his mi I
l was staying because of the baby, so the younger

(05:26):
brother and his wife indicated they wouldn't be able to
host them. Renovations were mentioned by the older ones. The
wives of the older and younger brothers claimed that I
was making this up, saying that she always kept their
home and her own tidy. I was advised to accept
it and behave like family. Since I saw what I
saw and her brother witnessed it and had to clean
it up. I informed them I wasn't there to debate

(05:47):
about her cleanliness. He attested to the fact that he
did and that I wasn't lying. After making a mistake,
my sister in law asked her brother, why did you
clean it up? Because I was supposed to clean it up.
She said, either she knows she has the entire family
in her pocket, or she is the most stupid person
alive to acknowledge that. In any event, I made it
plain that she would not be staying with me, and

(06:08):
that because she got along much better with the other
members of the family, they would find a solution on
their own. My niece refused to clean up the leftover
mess when my husband told her that she was old
enough to do so. She's your niece, but my daughter.
Don't you dare tell her what to do. Her father
chimed in, causing a heated argument that they both had
to end. I explained to her and her husband that
my husband and I were simply there to collect money

(06:30):
for the trash can we had to discard because she
was scattering biohazards all over the house. It would never happen,
she replied, laughing in my face. All right, I said.
It happened so fast that day that I still had
her daughters, her husband's, and her two younger children's tablets,
along with some of her jewelry and a few other items.
I hope you understand that when I threw you out,

(06:52):
I didn't pack all your possessions. I assured her that
everything would be sold to cover my expenses. She was
shouting loudly about what she would do to me if
I'd dared to sell anything. As we were leaving, having
my back, my hubby advised me to sell anything I
needed to. They continued to text my husband later pleading
with him to do them a favor by putting up
with her for a few months until she recovered. I

(07:13):
informed him that I would never consent to allowing her,
her slobby husband, and her swarm of kids to return.
They also tried to guilt me about his niece's education
by texting me saying that if they find a rental
outside of the school zone, she could have to start
at another school because they don't have a place to
remain near her school. Tough luck, I responded back, then
block them. Although my husband won't block his parents, He

(07:34):
was upset with his brothers for accusing him of being
self centered for not taking them in when they were
going through a difficult time. Although they acknowledged that it
was disgusting, they justified her actions by speculating that I
might have done something to make it worse. Finally, the
wife of the oldest brother sent a voicemail to my
husband's WHATSAP using her husband's phone. She said, I'm not kidding.

(07:55):
You're still fine to watch her six year old on
Tuesdays and Wednesdays as usual, aren't you. I instructed him
to determine the response to that inquiry. A new family
was moving into the area, so I had to stay
a little while longer. After I went to pick up
my kids, we held a brief meet in greet since
the parents wanted to get to know the parents of
their kid's classmates. Since I often pick up my husband's

(08:15):
older brother's six year old daughter on Tuesdays and Wednesdays,
the office brought her to me since no one had
been to pick her up. Her instructor, assuming I was
late because of the meeting with the new parents, instructed
an office administrator to bring her to me when she
saw me waiting in the hallway. I informed them that
on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, I was no longer in charge
of her. They must have contacted her mother when they

(08:36):
brought her back to the office. My husband informed me
when I got home from the meet and greet that
his parents had called and expressed their disapproval of me
leaving their grandchild. Additionally, they placed his older brother's wife
on the phone, and she and my husband got into
a heated argument. He spoke with the sil I expelled
as well. In the end, my husband informed his parents
that they would not be allowed to speak to him

(08:58):
for a week, and that he would only unblock them
if they sincerely apologized to him and to me. After
I made it a parent that I would no longer
offer free services, he clarified that it was the parent's
responsibility to arrange for pickup. For the time being, the
sil who I expelled is still living with her parents.
My in laws are hosting her spouse, two of her
elder children, and her younger two. The two younger ones

(09:20):
and the other two older ones are dispersed throughout the
other two homes. They did, however, imply that it would
be a short term arrangement because she had assured them
that she would soon convince her brother to change his ways.
I believe I have a long journey ahead of me.
The wife of the oldest brother was present when I
dropped off my kids at school on Friday. She trailed
after me. She confronted me in the store parking lot

(09:41):
when I paused to pick up some products. I refuse
to accept her sincere apologies and desire to make things right.
She was desperate, claiming that since she is the lead
and must oversee, she would lose the project if she
missed one more week of overtime. She had to pick
up her six year old since her husband was unable
to adjust his schedule. She argued that sending her six
year old over a casual remark was not justified. Her

(10:03):
child blamed me for the bio hazards left in my house,
so I told her that wasn't a casual remark. She
stated that she hoped to diffuse the tension and that
all she wanted was for every one to get along.
I suggested that she ask the SIL for assistance, but
she said that the SIL had declined since she was
barely able to manage her three children under the age
of seven. In order to free up time and energy

(10:24):
to pick up the kids. I advised her to ask
the youngest wife, who has her mother residing with her.
She claimed that rather than assisting with her six year old,
the youngest wife preferred to focus on the early recollections
of her own child. I advised her to accept it
and work with the people she regarded as family to
find a solution. I then proceeded with my shopping. She
was there once again when I went to pick up

(10:45):
my child in the afternoon. She accompanied me home. Once
we exited the pick up line, I parallel parked my
driveway to keep her from parking there and bothering me
at my door. In order to transfer the car, I
texted my husband to ask him to let me know
when he would be home. She parked on the side
road and came to my house despite being unable to
find a spot. I refused to open the door. When

(11:05):
she rang the ring, she went around the back and
knocked on my back door, telling me that since we
were family, I couldn't avoid her forever through the glass.
I threatened to contact the police for harassment if she
didn't leave. Then she went off. My mother in law
and father in law were there when I went to
answer our doorbell in the evening. I let them in
because they wanted to apologize and come inside. The first

(11:27):
thing they told us was how much the past three
days had changed them. They then apologized and requested me
to return to my regular self. According to my mother
in law, because life is full of ups and downs,
you may have to tolerate negativity from family members at times.
It can't be all sunshine and roses all the time.
They tried to guilt trip me into helping out with
the six year old by pointing out that her mother

(11:48):
and I had previously been on good terms. So my
husband stopped his mother and said, then why do we
critical back slore Lemon and I have to be the
only ones on the receiving end of the negative. When
will you hold my sister and the others accountable for
their behavior? When she choose her side, I added, she
forfeited that privilege given that she might lose her work.

(12:10):
They wondered if I would be able to sleep at night.
When my husband mentioned how much I had done for
her without receiving payment, I said yes. They retorted that
it shouldn't matter if I had another child who was
already potty trained, because I was already at home. Since
I had given up a lot for their kid over
the years, I assured them that it did make a difference.
I added that they had no right to force me

(12:30):
to assist if they couldn't persuade the younger brother's wife
to do so. When I would return the items I
was holding hostage was what they wanted to know. My
spouse interrupted, claiming that he was the one holding them
captive and that they would be given back after his
sister covered the costs. According to my fil s, ill
would be justified in informing the police about the theft.
In response, my spouse said she can do as she pleases.

(12:54):
My spouse then disclosed something that I was unaware of.
He instructed them to inform his sister that he had
cancel the hotel and all of the summer holiday plans,
including his niece's horseback riding. He clarified that he didn't
feel compelled to cover SIL's expenses. If her father may
ask him, who do you think you are to boss
my daughter around? My spouse made the decision to stop
funding because their father was uncertain about the uncle niece

(13:16):
relationship and his authority to teach her responsibility. This disturbed
my mother in law. He acknowledged that he had canceled
it when she remarked, you haven't done that, have you.
I thought we would all have a great vacation. I
refused to accept their attempts at justification, saying that Esil
had a lot on her plate with the house loss
and young children. I informed them that she had made

(13:37):
bad decisions that led to her current predicament, and that
having a ninth kid would not make things better. According
to my Mi, I l her body, her choices means
that every woman should make her own decisions regarding family planning,
and I shouldn't Tellesil what she should or shouldn't do.
She argued it was different, claiming she wasn't telling me
to have more or fewer children, since she liked grandchildren.

(13:57):
The more the better. I responded, like your dictating to
me right now by weaseling your way into our home
under the guise of an apology, I said to her,
you can't expect me to look after other people's children either.
The less stress I have, the merrier I am. That
also falls under my body my choice. We had decided
to be less friendly over a little issue, so They

(14:19):
turned to my husband and asked whether he was truly
putting them through all of this. He replied, scrubbing down
the two bathrooms after my niece and sister wasn't exactly
the highlight of my life. We kindly requested them to leave,
since they were unable to stop apologizing and complaining about
us not going with them for the family holiday and
about canceling Sills and her family's vacation, which they said

(14:39):
destroyed the atmosphere for everyone. The door bell kept ringing
and there was frantic hammering on our door on Saturday,
early waking us up. S I L and her oldest
son were there. My spouse assured me that he would
take care of it. She attempted to push through as
he opened the door, but my husband stopped her. She
was yelling and claiming to be able to knock some
sense into me by coming inside to put things in perspective.

(15:01):
I am a year and a few months older than her,
and she is little over two years older than my husband.
She shoved three hundred dollars in his face and asked,
is she happy now that cradle snatching explative. She continued
to abuse me, calling me a jealous, explative, and saying
that I had ruined their family by controlling him. She
went on to say that she expected him to promptly
reschedule the vacation and activities now that she had given

(15:23):
the money back. My spouse said that even if hell
froze over, it wouldn't occur. While he went to get something,
he instructed her to wait outside. He entered, put their
things in a bag, and left out one of the
tablets he had purchased and was still paying for with insurance.
He gave her the bag. After opening the door, she
started swearing and urged him to mature. She threatened to

(15:44):
file a report against him for causing damage to her possessions.
He calmly retorted that everything was captured on camera and
cautioned her against taking legal action because her children could
hardly afford a lawyer, much less a place to live.
He warned her not to set foot on our land
ever again, before slamming the door in her face. Without
any further drama, she departed. My mother in law and

(16:04):
father in law later called us and tried to talk
sense into our heads. I had agreed with my husband
to allow them to see our kids as long as
they met certain requirements. Even though I'm not a lawyer,
I informed them that their rights were restricted in our state.
When they claimed to have grandparent rights, they had to
respect me and my family if they wanted to have
a relationship with their grandchildren. We don't currently communicate with

(16:25):
the other brothers, their spouses, sil or her immediate relatives.
To convey a message, we momentarily unblock them before blocking
them once more. We don't mind at all if the
older brother's kids wished to get in touch with us
or visit. The six year old can only come here
on weekends when we have time to host them, and
only if her elder siblings are present to watch over her.
There won't be any more surprise visits. We will also

(16:48):
block their parents if they call us using those numbers.
The wife of the older brother called me while I
was messaging and offered to pay me seven dollars and
fifty cents per hour for the days I watched her
six year old. She texted me to swee and the bargain,
offering to pay me for the previous three months, but
I said no, thank you, I'll pass on that wonderful opportunity. Still,
I declined, Thank you for watching. If you haven't subscribed yet,
