[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My FIL came to my house while we were out of town and painted our master bedroom a hideous color. [/quote]

I have a crazy in-law house story, too!

So, DH and I bought our very first house. All financed by us, no help from parents/in-laws, etc. So we're excited, you know? First house and all. But - a week after we close, we are going on an international vacation. No big deal - we hire someone to come paint, etc, but don't actually plan to move in until after we're back in the states. However, in-laws are OBSESSED with the house. Like, they drove by it multiple times prior to our closing, even though we asked them to be cool. We assured them that they would have plenty of time to see the house, after we moved in. Unless they wanted to help move - in which case, here's the date, and we'll see you bright and early!

Anyway, we made the mistake of leaving our keys with the in-laws. Since we would be out of the country, we figured it would be helpful to have someone on this side of the ocean with keys in case the painters locked themselves out or burned the house down or something. Figuring that the in-laws would be normal people and, you know, wait until we were at least present before barging into our new home. Oh, but no... While I'm in Europe, I see a facebook post from one of the in-laws, and the setting looks familiar? And then I realize that the whole family (MIL, Grand-MIL, aunts, uncles) are in my newly painted office. That I haven't even seen in person yet. And they didn't even tell us directly - it was just a facebook post on one of their walls - neither DH nor I were tagged or anything.

A few months after we moved in, MIL and FIL are visiting for Christmas. MIL has the audacity to make a huge fuss about wanting a tour of the new house! I said, "Well, you saw it already, so..." and made DH handle that.

Fully admit that I'm still mad about it. And will absolutely never give my in-laws a set of spare keys ever again. [/quote]

Who cares about this? The big boundary issue is that they looked at your house. Um, ok.[/quote]
