[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DH's family has a really special, small beach house on the coast of North Carolina. It's old, small (3 beds, 1.5 baths), on a beautiful piece of property and just something you dream of owning. It's been in his family for three generations.

This summer our college-age DS and two of his male cousins are going to live and work at the beach. They will live in the house.

There is an extremely basic 'outbuilding' on the property. Think glorified shed. It has no bathroom, running water or kitchen. It's basically a simple bunk room with lights and a window AC that we have used as overflow bedrooms during family vacations.

One of many of DS's DC friends wants to live there for the summer. My BILs signed off on it but want to charge a nominal $333 a month rent ($1000 for the summer) and limit it to one kid because they will all being using one septic tank. They also want the chosen kid to sign a basic lease to cover damages.

So, I brought this up to the chosen boy's mom- who I'm very friendly with but not close close.

I thought she was going to faint. Her reaction was one of disgust. She actually thought her son was going to live rent free at out family beach house for three months.

Today I heard she was bad mouthing me to other friends, calling me a cheap skate, etc.

Do I go ballistic and dis-invite the kid?[/quote]

Really special?  GMAF break.

You sound like a complete piece work.  Your son must be (should be) mortified that you're trying to charge a friend he invited rent to live in a shack.  I probably wouldn't have bothered sh!t talking behind your back, I would have just told you to shove it.

Good grief.[/quote]

OP here. Found the scum. Sorry you can't appreciate gorgeous acreage and historic property on the coast of NC. Too bad so sad you were raised broke (and probably in a trailer.)[/quote]

[b]This is absolutely classic because it's not even your house, it's your husband's family's house.  I am dying at you trying to act to the manor born over marrying someone with a 1/12th ownership interest in a 3/1.5 with an air conditioned shed.

This. From OP’s description, it’s tiny and run down. But in the vicinity of wealthy people, which is enough for OP. [/quote]

Wrong. The OP described a lovely beach house that is the thing that people dream of owning. Did you even read the thread?[/quote]

The only updates in the thread are that the house is poorly maintained and the septic tank is at its absolute limit with 4 occupants.  The fact that it sits on acreage is the only thing she's said that sounds nice about it.[/quote]

"My DH's family has a really special, small beach house on the coast of North Carolina. It's old, small (3 beds, 1.5 baths), on a beautiful piece of property and just something you dream of owning"

What part told you it was run down? The "really special" part or the "something you dream of owning" part?  :lol:  You stink of jealousy.

And for anybody prattling on about the septic tank you obviously don't know  sh*t (pun intended) about them. They are rated on the number of bedrooms a home has and they have to perc (or slowly drain) at a certain rate. This is difficult to balance in low lying, sandy soil so it is an issue whether the house is a 5 million dollar mansion or a one room shack. Really, your ignorance is embarrassing.[/quote]

What you've just quoted wasn't an update.  That was from the first post.  OP has come back several times to say that the reason they're charging this kid is because the house needs maintenance, they believe having a fourth person might overload the septic tank, etc.  She said very recently that she was pushing to add additional renters this summer and use the income for deferred maintenance.  Again, all of this is in updates in the thread.  She called it small but special in the OP.  The only update that she has posted since the OP that sounded remotely nice is that she added there is acreage.  Acreage on the coast is worth something.  The house doesn't sound special or nice at all.[/quote]

This is rich. This poster is claiming a house she hasn't even seen isn't special or nice, despite the owner of the house describing it precisely as special and nice :P

Nowhere did she say the home needed lots of maintenance. She made a comment about the septic tank and that was explained by the very post you quoted but you failed to grasp it. Septic tanks are rated for bedrooms- so if you have a 4 bedroom house, its unwise to have more than 4 people using the bathrooms and kitchen.

She made no mention of painting or window replacements or redoing the roof or fixing rot or landscaping or... anything related to maintenance.

Each post just makes you look more and more jealous.

It's the emojis that really sell this.  [/quote]
