[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah, how is it mooching when it has been family tradition to divvy up weeks for decades?
Maybe I should start charging my kids rent when they come home to visit as well. I mean the nerve! Taking up valuable space in a property where I pay the home insurance and the mortgage!![/quote]

It. Is. Not. OP's. Vacation. Home. It's not even her family, it's her in-laws. But look how she teases out her entitlement, deluded herself into believing it's hers, "We rarely go and didn't at all last summer during the pandemic. Others go a lot more."

Why is she keeping tabs of the frequency of guests? And why did she type that, so as to bolster her case [to us] that she "deserves" her week(s) this summer.

And who knows how end of care works for the elderly nephew and MIL. OP's certainly salivating she'll be getting at least 25% of the beach house when MIL passes, but this could be unloaded long before an estate lawyer calls up her husband. And even if she and her husband do receive it, they'll receive a quarter share (OP's BIL will get the other 25%), the nephew and his family will control majority stake 50%.[/quote]

First, you need to go look up the definition of majority.

Second, the amount of projection in this post is really sad.  [/quote]
