[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The aunt is an owner of the house.  It is crazy that OP is ignoring what she says.

OP and husband were completely wrong in leaving their possessions at the house and then expecting the board to not be used.  This is on OP and her husband for being lazy and ungracious.

If I were the aunt then I'd tell OP and her husband to rent their own vacation place next time rather than using her property for free and then not be polite to cousins who had a guest who made an error in judgment.[/quote]

Op's FIL is also owner of the house. It was crazy that the cousin opted to dismiss beach house rules that have been in place 12+ years.

OP & Husband put the possession in the correct shed for items not to be used by others. There were other boards for sharing in the other shed. This is on cousin for feeling entitled.

Maybe the FIL of OP should ban entitled cousin from access to the owner's shed. Cousin acted like a toddler with poor impulse control and failure to accept a no when there was a shiny new toy in front of him.

No evidence that OP's FIL doesn't agree with the aunt.

Cousin's bad behavior doesn't mean that OP's behavior is impeccable here.  In a shared occupancy setting, [b]a little grace goes a long way towards maintaining family harmony[/b].[/quote]

Like respecting other people's property when you're sharing space that you're lucky to have access to? That kind of grace?[/quote]

What’s the saying? “An eye for an eye makes the whole world better off”?[/quote]
