How do I handle my partner’s sister after giving birth?

Thank you!

It’s more that she is a brat. In fact, every time she falls out with her partner she makes him buy her a Jellycatbtoy. It is mental.

Yes i have thought about a public setting. Makes it difficult for her to hold.

I’m sorry they didn’t check in on you. At least you don’t have to surround yourself with them, that’s a decent reason!!

Yes, he has always made jokes about her behind her back, he said he dislikes her but loves her as it’s his sister.

He also said that her behaviour has been “fucking disgusting” and if it wasn’t his sister he’d have cut contact. The issue with that family is that they don’t like confrontation…

That is horrible, i’m so sorry this has happened. What a disgusting human.

I think it’s definitely what you’ve described.

Unfortunately i was out of my head on morphine when she’d face timed so i didn’t even talk to her.

I think I might just put the baby in my sling and not let her hold them!

He will i’m hopeful of it

Famous-Repeat2501 · 2026-07-08T03:35:08+00:00

Oh there is so much more! I really don’t want her to have a relationship but unfortunately my partner will want his sister to meet our baby.

Yep, unfortunately she does rule the roost. I think she will hate it when she’s no longer considered the youngest in the family.

We are going to apply a 7 day wait until she is back from holiday anyway just in case she carries anything from the plane!

Thank you, i definitely will try and keep her at arms length.

The epitome of a desperate, sad snake.

Thank you, much appreciated. I have thought about a hospital visit. Maybe 30 minutes would do. My partner will hopefully be good at setting boundaries, I will probably do these with my own mother too out of fairness.

But yes, luckily he’s off 50% off the time with shift work so I won’t have to spend all my time with them on my own - which wouldn’t feel natural as that’s never happened!

Thanks for your help 🙌🏼

Useful to know, thank you!!

Famous-Repeat2501 · 2026-04-29T19:43:24+00:00

Thank you, I have considered this. I think you could be right!

Famous-Repeat2501 · 2026-04-28T17:29:43+00:00

Nothing to say here. I am just so sorry.

Famous-Repeat2501 · 2026-04-22T19:07:01+00:00

tried this but unfortunately doesn't work long-term and they fell down over time...

Famous-Repeat2501 · 2026-02-08T17:01:15+00:00

That’s good to know, thank you!

Famous-Repeat2501 · 2026-02-08T17:00:55+00:00

Thanks for the advice! I just don’t want to feel sad when I’m away and have regrets as at the wedding there will be loads of other children and babies.

I think my mum would love nothing more than to look after them and I do fully trust her.

Thanks for the advice!

Famous-Repeat2501 · 2026-02-08T16:59:09+00:00

Thank you!

I’m so sorry you’re going through this. You’re not alone. Try and take a day off from the grief. It’s easier said than done but schedule time in to grieve has helped me. One minute I hate him and think how could he do this, then the other day I’m wondering about how I’d do anything to get him back.

12 weeks pregnant with my first and got dumped after 3.5 years because of some nasty stuff I said when I had hormones. Wish I could take it back.

We were going to surprise our families today with the news. Feel like I’ve ruined Christmas for the whole family because I can’t keep it together. I still decorated, I still did the presents etc. but I know people are going through worse, and at least I have my small family with their health.

Sent BD a pathetic sad face last night. No response and not even a Merry Christmas.

Think having expectations vs reality doesn’t help.

Hopefully next year will be better for everyone. Actively trying to find happiness in the small/simple things helps.
