[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH and I own a house on a lake that we built from scratch, invested a lot of time and resources. No one from his side of the family ever contributed. With COVID, his siblings decided that the house is FAMILY house and started asking to stay there. We declined at first because we moved in there when schools closed and we all worked remote. We didn't want to be in DC with all that craziness. They pouted because a few of them live in apartments, kids don't have their own space and our house is big. It's big enough for 4 of us, that's how we wanted it. Had they contributed from the beginning, then maybe we would've built a bigger house. Now one of them is asking very firmly to move in there this summer for 3 months. Rent free. With her 4 kids and 2 dogs.

So I guess my question is...what is up with all the mooching? You don't contribute, you don't get your piece of the pie...I am just astonished that 40+ year old people are so entitled.[/quote]

Hell No.

It’s your lake house and it’s a beautiful summer lake house.

Your DH needs to consistently tell them no. No guests free or paying when you’re not there. Get a security system, nest can or ringcam, and have the neighbors call about any activity. [/quote]
