[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]so much jealousy on this thread. I've noticed that nothing brings the meanies out on DCUM like a vacation home thread.  [/quote]

It’s not jealousy, it’s recognizing an entitled and uncouth non-family skinflint created this thread only to hear what she wanted to do in the first place: Keep pushing and prodding in-laws until she extracted what she wanted — the use of their vacation property.

Sorry we’re perceptive to her passive-aggressive, manipulative and misleading wording.[/quote]

You're off-base and very invested in this.[/quote]

Read the entire thread. The subtle way she lays it on thick to get us to be on her side. The way she vaguely implies sans details that she pays bills. Then she quickly shut down comments suggesting she book another place on her dime. Oh no, that was beyond comprehensible. This was created to stoke posts that would encourage her to nag her husband, to nag the MIL, to go over MIL’s head and nag the nephew. See honey, everyone online agrees with me - we have to keep pushing your family until we get what I want.

Why doesn’t OP go nag her family to use one of their houses? Exactly. [/quote]

I think you are imagining that far more thought went into this than perhaps it did. This isn't a legal argument precisely and persuasively worded before the Supreme Court - reads like a quick post about a common family problem. [/quote]
