[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just because your husband has gotten to go there and take his family there each year for 20 years doesn't make the house his.  Whose name is on the deed?  That is who owns it, regardless of whether your husband bought a new door one year, or contributed with six other families to fixing the roof or whatever.

Right now, I do not talk at all to my friends who are CPAs - it's their busy season.  Maybe the nephew is in some sort of similar busy season - maybe he's directing a play or something. Who knows? But you want to do this politely, so the polite thing to do is to say "Don't worry about it - we'll rent a different house."

It sounds like you want to know how to actually be pushy though, while APPEARING polite, and you can't. [/quote]

This is exactly what she wants. How do I get what I want when the other people who actually own the house OP wants for free during prime season have told me exactly how they want to deal with it. [/quote]

"How do I POLITELY steamroll over the already-given direct and clear wishes of my MIL, the actual co-owner?"

Hahahaha, oh the entitlement. I'm so embarrassed for you, OP. [/quote]
