Living with family can be tricky, especially when everyone has different rules and habits. This story is about a 27-year-old woman dealing with her younger sister moving into her home.

The sister, who's pregnant and smokes, came to live with OP and her fiancé after a breakup. They had a couple of big rules: no smoking inside the house and keeping their cat, Julian, safe and happy.

The sister agreed to smoke outside, but she didn't stick to it. Also, she wasn't a fan of the cat.

She even asked if the cat could stay with their parents because she was worried about allergies for her baby. The couple didn't agree to this and just kept the cat out of her room. But then, things got worse.

The sister smoked inside a few times, and they argued but let it go. The last straw was when OP found her cat outside on the street.

Her sister had put him out there, saying it was to protect him from smoke, but that didn't make sense since she'd smoked near him before. After that, OP told her sister she needed to find a new place to live in a month.

Her sister got upset and told their parents, who are now mad at OP. The sister is also upset, saying she'll be homeless. OP feels bad but doesn't want her cat in danger or her house smelling like smoke.

OP's sister moved in with OP and her fiancé three months ago after breaking up with her long-term boyfriend.

OP's sister smokes, so they made a rule for her to smoke outside.

She was worried about the baby's allergies, so they decided not to allow the cat in her room, but they disagreed to leave the cat with the parents.

OP discovered her sister smoking indoors and putting the cat outside, so they've given her one month to leave.

She thinks that OP overreacting.

OP's sister informed their parents that OP asked her to leave, which made them very angry.

OP's sister's behavior seems unreasonable.

If she didn't want to be homeless, all she had to do was respect OP's home's rules.

OP's parents don't want to take her in because they want to avoid her problems.

OP's parents are upset because they know her behavior well, and they want to avoid dealing with her.

OP was patient and generous, but she took advantage of it.

OP's sister's concern about the unborn fetus developing a cat allergy while smoking during pregnancy seems impulsive and manipulative.

She's being disrespectful by smoking in OP's house and endangering her cat.

If she's concerned that the cat is harmful to the newborn baby, she should also quit smoking.

OP is not in the wrong here, if her sister wanted to stay at OP's place, she should have respected her simple rule.

OP's sister's behavior seems unreasonable. If she didn't want to be homeless, all she had to do was respect OP's home's rules.
