[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Update: It all worked out fine and there was no issue at all; it is all set. We're not scammers or moochers. I really hope people can be kinder and assume better intentions on this board. Thanks to all for the serious and well meaning advice...[/quote]

Fact is you're in your 50s begging your nephew-in-law and mother-in-law to use [b]their[/b]* beach house to throw a party for your teen kid. For one, throwing a party with non-family (teen) guests at someone else's house is 100% classless. And two, you are moochers. I'm not picking on you, I've been in very similar situations with family-owned property. I became uncomfortable doing this sort of thing in my 30s, I can't imagine still doing it in my 50s. This is precisely why families in their 30s and 40s buy their own beach house. Or if you want to exert control over this property you (and your DH's brother) need to buy out your mother or have her sign off the deed now. Your MIL's passive aggressive behavior seems to tease out nephew might be making a play to buy her out (or already has) to take total control of the property.

*and we know damn well in your head you consider it "yours" (since you're convinced it'll be "yours" when MIL croaks)[/quote]

Wow, you are coming into this scenario with a lot of vitriol and projection. I don't think you even read the post. Two teenagers sleeping over is different than some kind of wild beer bash with 50 kids. Parents present. Lifetime of going to the same home. I know absolutely nobody who buys their own beach house when they have one owned by their parents. NOBODY. Perhaps you are made of money and beach houses grow on trees. Perhaps you are accustomed to family members who want nothing to do with one another. This is not how it works in most families. Your post is classless. Clueless, actually, too.[/quote]
