My brother-in-law Jack and his wife Sally asked to honeymoon at our home, and my husband Simon and I agreed to help them save money. However, they insisted on taking our master bedroom, ignoring our refusal, and moved in anyway. During our daughter Alicia’s birthday party, they ate and ruined the kids’ food, upsetting her
deeply. Simon’s parents intervened, seeing the chaos, and asked them to leave. Jack and Sally left without apologizing, calling us “ungrateful.” I learned that family doesn’t get a free pass to disrespect boundaries, and protecting your home is crucial, even with loved ones.
