[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think we have two groups here - the mooches and the owners. Mooches say sure let everyone use your place! Owners say no are you crazy it’s yours. [/quote]

But it doesn’t have to be moochers versus non-moochers. It’s not black and white. [b]I don’t know why owners of the vacation homes can’t say YES you can stay there but you’re responsible for X charges. [/b][/quote]

Because for some people it will just lead to issues. Of course there are known charges for things, but what if someone breaks a lamp? What if damage is discovered and they say they didn't do it but you know they did? There are some people who are like that, and saying yes to them, even with expense parameters, just doesn't work. Be glad you don't know any of these people, I guess. [/quote]

It’s a choice to go through life worrying about all the things that can go wrong. At the end of the day a lamp isn’t really worth it for me. Fractured family relationships over lamps? So weird.[/quote]

You're completely missing the point. My in-laws would break the lamp, not say anything about it, and then I'd have to replace it whenever I discovered it. Who exactly is fracturing the relationship in this case? I'd dare say it's not me. [/quote]
