A 30-year-old woman had an older sister who sadly passed away just 2 months ago. After her sister passed, she stepped up to help care for her sister’s 3-year-old and 5-year-old.
So, she either goes right to her brother-in-law’s house to take care of the children, or they will come to her house.
Several days ago, her brother-in-law dropped the children off with her for what was supposed to be just the day.
Later on that night, her brother-in-law called her up to ask if it would be ok for the children to sleep over at her house.
She didn’t hesitate to say yes, and she climbed into her bed with the children. As she was reading them a bedtime story, they all fell fast asleep.
Around 1 in the morning, she was jolted awake after she heard a noise in her bedroom.
“I opened my eyes and saw my BIL slowly climbing in bed,” she explained. “I freaked out asking what he was doing. He tried to calm me down and then said that he saw the kids were with me and wanted to “join us.” This did not sit right with me…”
“I was confused. I asked how he thought this was an appropriate thing to do, and he again said that his kids were there, so he didn’t think I’d mind him being with them.”
“I felt extremely uncomfortable; I got up and asked him to please leave the room, but he objected, saying, “I can’t keep him away from his kids,” I told him that I’d have the kids join him in a minute.”

Finally, her brother-in-law exited her bedroom, but he made sure he took the children back home.
Before he left her house, he accused her of being “rude” and “unnecessarily cruel” for not allowing him to slide into her own bed.
The following morning, she called him to see how the children were doing, but he mentioned they were still asleep since she had woken them all up after she wouldn’t allow him to get in her bed with them.
Her brother-in-law also was clearly still upset with her too when she spoke to him over the phone that morning.
“I hung up and felt so many things all at once,” she said. “I told my mom, and she said I had to apologize for how I behaved towards my grieving BIL.”
She’s left wondering if it was mean of her not to allow her brother-in-law to get in her bed with the children.
Do you think she’s making a big deal out of this as her mom thinks?
