[quote=Anonymous]My BIL (husbands brother)  and SIL had a baby 3 years ago. We live in the same town as MIL. They have a fine relationship with her but have not visited in 3 years. They sent her a plane ticket to come visit 1x in 3 years to visit the baby and didn’t really have space for her. She cannot afford to pay her own ticket.  We have a 4 bedroom house and were leaving on vacation for a few weeks. I offered them to use our house when we were gone and our car just to drive around town.

A week before the trip my MIL mentions they have booked flights and are staying at our house. They didn’t even call us to run the dates by or anything. Our area is really expensive for hotels- start at $350 a night. That’s why I offered. I was put off that they didn’t even call/text to run it by first. Then they used our car for a 9 hour road trip. And I found out from neighbors our car had thousands of dollars in damage (dents, scratches, windows were down in driveway with rain storms) and they just left it that way, didn’t text us photos or anything. MIL put a tarp cover the car so the interior wouldn’t be damaged. This is our second car, worth about $25k. They said they couldn’t get the windows up, the car was having some issue but to not even communicate with us? They said car is not running and left it that way. I cannot get any truth to their story but I’m annoyed they would just leave a car open with windows down in our driveway for 3 weeks while we are gone and not communicate at all.

During all of this there wasn’t even a single thank you for letting them stay at our house or use our things. No good deed goes unpunished. I will never ever offer them anything again. [/quote]
