[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You want a beach house for certain dates? Go rent one. Like a grown-up. Be grateful that MIL and DH's cousin have given you free rides this long. You entitled brat.[/quote]

With respect, you sound pointlessly aggressive and like someone who just doesn’t get the common dynamic of a large family sharing a summer house. Usually two elders or whatever “own” it, but everyone splits dates. This sounds typical to me, not like mooching. This board loves to hunt for ulterior motives. You need to take a step back.

I’m not PP but I’m in a family that grew up with a family owned beach house. The siblings and cousins with their crap together end up buying their own place because nobody wants to be in situations like this. To top it off, OP isn’t even direct family nor an equity owner. Maybe she’s not a moocher but how do you not feel ‘low’ begging to use someone else’s lake house in your 50s? I’m sorry — but after graduate school and at the very latest past age 30 it’s uncouth to beg for other people’s beach homes. [/quote]
