[quote=Anonymous]Clearly, OP's generosity with her SIL and BIL has somehow left them with the impression that this is a "family" vacation home rather than a home owned by OP and her husband. So, yep, entitled attitude where BIL got to feel like a big man for offering something that wasn't his. And the fact that OP's SIL (the blood relative of DH) didn't call her bro to clear this just tells me they are very untrustworthy couple.

Silver lining with crazy situations like this is that it provides an opportunity to reset everyone's thinking. OP can get cameras and change codes and clearly articulate that from this point forward, no more open invites. Period.

"We're pretty upset about what happened with BIL's family and the explanation left us unsatisfied. We have a difficult time understanding why you felt entitled to offer our home to anyone, family or not, without our OK. Think golden rule here and how you might feel in our shoes. It was violation of trust, pure and simple. We're going to take a break from our annual Labor Day get-together plans and going forward our vaca house is not open to guests unless we explicitly invite them.  [/quote]
