In marriages, it can be hard to handle the relationship between a wife and her extended family. You should try to get along with your in-laws while also making sure you’re happy. A new mom recently found out that her sister-in-law was sneaking around her home and messing with her new baby. She asked Bright Side for help with how to handle this tough situation.

“Hey,

My husband James and I were blessed with a beautiful daughter about three months ago. For two months, I fed her breast milk. After that, my milk stopped coming in, so we switched to formula. Other than that, my sister-in-law Tiana has been having a hard time with her boyfriend of a long time. To be a good big brother, James suggested she stay with us for a while until she makes up her mind about what to do, whether it’s going back to her boyfriend or finding a new place to live.

I would leave the baby with James every morning while I went grocery shopping. But James went back to work after his paternity leave was over. But since my sister-in-law was nearby, it was fine for me to leave the baby with her while I went shopping. But after a couple of weeks of this, my baby changed; she now cries hysterically when she’s supposed to be fed from a bottle. I was very worried, so I took her to the pediatrician. He suggested that we try a different formula. That didn’t work either.

We just put up security cameras in our house because we might hire a nanny someday, and I thought it would be a good idea to watch the footage to see if anything was wrong with my baby while I was gone. What was shown on the screen was gross. My sister-in-law was breastfeeding my baby, but she has no idea that the camera is there! I mean, how could this even be possible? I was scared to death, so I ran to my husband and told him what I had found.

Prior to coming to live with us, James confronted his sister right away and learned that she had a miscarriage while six months pregnant with her boyfriend’s baby, which caused her body to start making milk. She felt bad about giving our baby “artificial milk” when she could give her “natural milk” from her own breasts, like she was some kind of supermom.

I was shocked. You’re right, what she went through is heartbreaking, but that’s not okay! Because of what I found, I could not let her stay in our house. I told James to let his sister stay with us for 24 hours and then help her find a place to stay. To my surprise, though, my husband didn’t tell her she had to leave because he knew she was having a hard time after losing both her boyfriend and her baby. He said she needs our help more than ever.

I have no idea what to do here. That being said, I don’t know what to say or do to get him to see how bad things are. I really need some help!

Sincerely,
Sandra”
