[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you going to be there the whole time?  If not, then why can't you let them be there some of the time that you're not.  Your post is nice enough but you keep bringing up the fact that you wanted them to go in on it with you so now, frankly, [b]you're sounding very retaliatory.

We have a second home so I get it that you get a lot of requests.  If we're not using the house then we let family members stay there.  As long as they're good caretakers of our property and return it to us the way we left it (or better as happened when a cousin's husband did some major plantings that we had discussed in casual conversation but never undertaken) then we're fine.

When your post mentions less about 'they had the opportunity' and more about other reasons then you'll get a pass from me.  Otherwise like I said you sound like you're being retaliatory.[/quote]

So?

I mean, they didn't want to pony up and now they want the benefits? That may be a bit spiteful but, I have to admit, I'd be feeling the same way.

I'll also say that there was a thread recently about the "it doesn't hurt to ask or does it" idea. I def think it rarely hurts to ask. This is one that is a completely unreasonable, tone deaf ask.[/quote]
