AITA For Charging My Sister’s Family To Stay In My House During Christmas? - Family Reddit Stories

[@Donna.V]

Just don't do it. Don't do it. Don't do it. They are looking for a free stay with a built in maid and caretaker. "Let us come and trash your house for free! We're family! Yay!" Don't do it.

My Late Grandmother once wisely said: “fish and house guests start to stink after 3 days.”

[@ReginaEdwards-u9u]

ALL SHE HAS TO DO IS TELL HER PARENTS OR FAMILY MEMBERS TO LET THEM STAY WITH THEM.!!!😮😮😮😮😮😮💩💩💩💩🤬🤬👎👎👎👎😶😶😶😶

[@VergilTheLegendaryDarkSlayer]

I would've informed her she needs to pay for the damages to everything her kids made or i will need to go through legal actions and the kids will be banned from eating and playing inside, they can only play and eat outside

[@cynthiagreske5957]

Tell your sister to call your mother who seems to think that a few days at the house is just a little inconvenient but nothing to worry about, and there won’t be any problem with the family staying at the mom‘s house, and that she will help the mother clean up the house before they go back to their home and the other state and they will replace anything that her kids break. See if the mother agrees and they can go stay therefor free for 3 to 4 days with three kids.

😮😮I have a 3,200 sq ft house. No extra beds. No couches. Each room has a lock on it. I love giving parties and everything is washable in the public areas. Now the secret basement is where no one goes or knows about.

OP should have just said no from the start. If sis complained, tell her you're still waiting to be reimbursed for replacement of the couch and rug from last year before you'd even consider letting them stay with you again. IF that ever happened, they'd need to chip in for food and utilities because you weren't able to cover for five extra people and they'd have to sign an agreement that they would chip in and also that they would immediately make good on any new damages. Otherwise, to start checking out hotels or other family members. Mom probably wants OP to house them so SHE doesn't have to. Anyone who tries to guilt-trip OP should be immediately provided with pictures of last year's damage and receipts for the items which had to be replaced or repaired along with a note that you'd be letting sister know they were welcome to stay with that person. Sister and BIL probably spent all their money on the Disney trip and counted on staying with OP because they now don't have the funds to pay for a hotel for the holidays. Most people would have the common sense and grace to be embarrassed by how they had mistreated OP and her home, but not these people.

Your sister doesn't respect you or your home. Tell her no.

[@ML-lw2yi]

Regardless of whether the sister would agree to pay or not, Christmas would be ruined for everyone due to the large chip remaining on sister's shoulders. I cannot imagine a more uncomfortable situation than spending Christmas with someone who so thoroughly disrespects and resents you.

[@suewashere]

Perfectly reasonable and parents should be teaching them, drinks, food and colouring at the table. They can behave however they wish at home, but when visiting others, they should know how to behave.

[@placitas52]

No is a complete sentence. Let that moving disaster stay with your mother.

[@baltimoresfinest5324]

Why do these videos cut off and have no ending!!!

[@CarolynBirkner-b9h]

You need to book yourself a vacation away while they're there!

[@sitamohess3935]

I would lock up my house and go away for a holiday on a beach.

[@Donna.V]

Great idea!

[@bignormtv6036]

Send her pics of the damages and then send her the bills for repairs and clean ups. Then say when you reimburse me for that I will think about a next time. Then state your terms.

[@csh43166]

"No" is a complete sentence...

[@CarolynBirkner-b9h]

Tell her to find cheaper accommodations elsewhere! Tell your mom to pay for any damages that happens while they stay there! Or better yet let them stay at your mom!

[@nbenefiel]

When the grandkids came to visit, I'd just put away anything fragile. Other than that, they can gave anything I own.

[@tunatofu63]

Just tell them your house isn't child friendly and their kids are too little. Maybe some other time when they are older. Sounds like they invited themselves. Just say no.

[@cynthiagreske5957]

Tell your mother who said it’s only for a few days they fine. They can come to your house for a few days and whatever they break or whatever chaos that they start hoping it doesn’t upset you like it upset me last year when they broke my couch and ruined my rug and then I had to clean for out. Don’t know how many days. Well, you can have that pleasure this year because I’m not doing it.

[@vaanmathiviswanathan7183]

If your sister wanted to stay in others house she should have a comoon sense to teach her kids to behave in others house

[@CarolynBirkner-b9h]

You are NOT the ass hole they are .Tell them they will be responsible for any and all damage done by the kids and adults!

[@BelyndaWilson-b1f]

Kids should be seen not heard.and be learn respect.make them eat at the table.and to teach them clean your mess and a paddle on their butt .

[@judev3197]

I don’t understand why situations like this go past the first conversation. And when the flying monkeys start, I’d be sending them the photos of last year’s debacle & asking are you happy for someone to treat your home like this? If they say anything but no, I’d be saying, great! I’ll tell sis they can stay there. Or I’d upload the photos in the family chat & ask the same question. Just bloody say no & stick to it.

[@BelyndaWilson-b1f]

My aunt use to use a wooden ruler on Thier hands for touching things belong to them .I understand the boundaries of my house my rules.

[@fashiondiva6972]

Why is EVERY protagonist in this channel’s stories a giant wuss who can’t say no or defend themselves? Try a new narrative
