[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You want a beach house for certain dates? Go rent one. Like a grown-up. Be grateful that MIL and DH's cousin have given you free rides this long. You entitled brat.[/quote]

With respect, you sound pointlessly aggressive and like someone who just doesn’t get the common dynamic of a large family sharing a summer house. Usually two elders or whatever “own” it, but everyone splits dates. This sounds typical to me, not like mooching. This board loves to hunt for ulterior motives. You need to take a step back.

Nope, sorry! My mom and her siblings jointly own a lake cottage. Does it usually work out that my family goes there for a week every August? Yes. But if my mom wasn't ready to confirm dates, I would to bound her and act like an entitles, spoiled brat. If I "needed" to confirm now because of camp schedules, etc., I'd book one of the other houses on the lake that are Run as Air BnBs...or I'd take a year off from the lake and book something new and different. Because my husband and I are adults, we know that we are in charge of our vacation planning.[/quote]
