In response to "TTIS: My sister has an issue. At Christmas, her inlaws came to visit, including her brother in law and his girlfriend." by loosilu

Hmm. Tough one. One one hand, it's her house, and if they want to stay there for free, they need to abice by her rules.

on the other hand, unless the BIL and GF are under 18, she's being prudish.

I side with your sister. It's her house, her rules. They don't like it, they can go sleep in a hotel. It's her fallout if it riles up the husband's family.

I had to deal with this. Bottom line is they probably will stop coming because of it - decline Jan 12, 08:44 7
- that's what I'd do too. if I live with somebody, I'm not sleeping in a different bed to make you more comfortable, your house or not. - mafic Jan 12, 08:49 3
  - this is what I told her, fwiw. I told her that's not a reasonable thing to ask. -- nm - loosilu Jan 12, 08:50 2
    - if we don't live together, I might be willing to do it. if it's her family, and it's really important to her that I'm there, but not for my family. -- nm - mafic Jan 12, 08:52
    - good for you. -- nm - Don Homer Jan 12, 08:52
- this is ultimate the issue, I think. and it means her husband wouldn't see his brother very much. -- nm - loosilu Jan 12, 08:45 2
  - what if they never get married? imo your sis is being a bit too severe about the whole thing -- nm - decline Jan 12, 08:48 1
    - no shit. this is my thing. and knowing him, that might happen. what's she going to do, spend the next 20 years - loosilu Jan 12, 08:49
they're 30ish. -- nm - loosilu Jan 12, 08:44 6
- Then he needs to go to Motel 6 if he can't take it. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 12, 08:46 3
  - repeat: THey cannot afford a hotel. -- nm - loosilu Jan 12, 08:48 2
    - Then take what you get and don't bitch about it. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 12, 08:51 1
      - (not that he's bitching. I just meant beggars can't be choosers.) -- nm - JaxSean Jan 12, 08:51
- I assumed this. My answer is different if they are like 22. -- nm - TFox Jan 12, 08:45 1
  - she would react the same way if they were 60. -- nm - loosilu Jan 12, 08:46
