Confessions: Been hosting job-seeker sister, now she treats my house like a lodging

She treats the house like a lodging, coming in and leaving when she pleases (Photo: Shutterstock)

I am the second born in a family of five girls. I got married two years ago. When I had a baby last year, my elder sister came to live with me and my husband so that she could help me in the first few months since she did not have a job. A few months ago, she got a job but she does not contribute to bills and doesn’t help in the house at all. She treats the house like a lodging, coming in and leaving when she pleases. I have tried talking to her but we end up arguing. How do I handle this? I can tell that my husband is not happy with the arrangement.
