Advice Ask Amy I'm buying a house with my mom. My sister wants to visit

Dear Amy: My sister and I don’t get along well. In fact, my sister doesn’t get along with most people. (Our mom always says, “You know how she is.”) I can put up with her behavior only in spurts. Her husband, however, is wonderful. Here’s the issue: Right now, my widowed mom, my husband and I live a couple of houses apart in a nice retirement community in the South. My sister (who doesn’t work) and her husband come from their home up North to visit for two to four weeks at a time during the winter. This is great because Mom really enjoys the company and loves being with family. Now that my brother-in-law is fully retired, they have commented that they plan on staying with mom for two or three months at a time, becoming “snowbirds” and using her home as a free vacation spot. Mom was looking forward to that.
