Visiting your closest family in-laws and being a guest at their house can be a lovely experience. It's a time to connect, create lasting memories, and strengthen the bonds of love and kinship.

Being welcomed into their home with open arms and treated as a cherished guest can make you feel really valued and appreciated. And that's the feeling everyone wants to have in their in-law's family.

It's an amazing opportunity to enjoy quality time together, share laughter, stories, and truly feel like a part of the family. The warmth and hospitality received during such visits can leave a lasting impression and create a sense of belonging and love.

But, on the other hand, sometimes these visits can be a real horror. The host may treat you rudely despite having invited you to his home.

A Reddit user shared her horrible experience about visiting her sister-in-law. The OP explained she had a terrible accident during a visit to the city where her sister-in-law lives.

She fell down the stairs and suffered various injuries and severe trauma. So the following day, she couldn't join the family outing due to her pain, so she said she would like to stay home.

However, she was only allowed to stay in the bedroom where she and her husband had slept until her family returned home. It made her feel unwelcome and unwanted as a guest.

So she doesn't want to stay at her sister-in-law's house again, but her husband thinks she's overreacting, and she asks for some help.

The OP asks:

The OP explained she had an accident during her last visit to her sister-in-law

Therefore, she couldn't go shopping with them and asked to stay at home

But they treated her like a criminal, and she felt like the most unwelcome guest

"What’s up with your husband?"

The OP responded:

One Redditor said lupus has nothing with it

The OP explained:

"NTA and how very peculiar"

"His sister and BIL are the petty ones."

"The OP further revealed"

"Your husband's "lupus lens" doesn't let him see how creepy this is?"

"Let them know insults go both ways."

"I’d never set foot in their house again"

The OP thanked everyone

She also added an update after their trip:

The OP's husband finally understood her perspective:

They have stayed in a hotel and had a great time:

While staying at a family member's home can be a wonderful experience filled with love and connection, there are instances where misunderstandings and feelings of unwelcome arise. It's important to communicate openly and honestly, expressing one's needs and concerns while also considering the perspectives of others.

Finding a balance between respecting the rules of the host and feeling valued as a guest is crucial. Ultimately, the strength of family ties and the ability to navigate through challenges with empathy and understanding can help create a harmonious and fulfilling experience for both a visitor and a host.
