Would it be cheaper to put them up in a hotel?

When my parents came to live with us it lasted a week and they decided that it was worth it for them to live in a hotel until the house was ready.

Day 3 update: Sorry I wasn't around to much yesterday, The wife and I took her employees to brunch at a nice resort casino here and we got a room and stayed the night. They have a great cigar lounge, very nice restaurants and we had an excellent time, until we returned to our home, or what I now affectionately refer to as "Hell House"!
As I walked through the door this morning upon our return, I suddenly felt myself transforming into Colonel Kurtz from Apocalypse Now as I begun mumbling "The Horror, The Horror".

My front entry rug has become a dog urine receptacle. The grout under the dining table was now a stream of yellow tributaries flowing , as best I can tell, toward the pacific. There are half eaten dog treats strewn about the house. I will spare you the details of how the house smells as I will leave that to your imagination.
My MIL tried to make me believe it was our dog who has been soiling the entry rug, a feat she has yet to accomplish in the last eight years, and as I got down on my hand and knees to clean the tributaries under the table, my MIL's husband, who was seated at the table using his laptop, would not move his feet so that I could clean under them.
They just left to go look at homes and took their 3 dogs with them. I will continue to clean the house now that they are gone as soon as I am done cleaning my hunting rifles.

Laura, at this point it may be cheaper to pay for a Defense Lawyer!

ashtonlady · 12-13-2010, 02:09 PM

I got an idea, move the dogs to a hotel and then the in laws shall follow.

CoreyD · 12-13-2010, 02:17 PM

maybe he started doing volunteering at local non profits so hes at home less, I mean so he's showing he cares about society.

hotreds · 12-13-2010, 02:32 PM

Kevin: In all seriousness, it is NOT acceptable that they destroy your house. They need to be told that they are guests, and anymore urine on the floor will be one drop too much, and they will have to vacant and move to a hotel. Likewise any undue "takeover" of the house or refrigerator contents by said people will result in immediate removal. It's funny only up to a point. I really think you need to talk to your wife and tell her that what is going on is beyond the pale, and the trespassers need to be moved to a hotel.

I really feel bad for you, brother. I hope that you can get rid of these people before you lose your sanity and good humor!

Montano · 12-13-2010, 02:34 PM

Kevin, come to Cali

12-13-2010, 03:53 PM

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
I would be helping her find a place.

CasaDooley · 12-13-2010, 06:07 PM

I tried to clean the entry rug, But it looks like I'll have to send it out to get it done right. I have another area rug to replace it, but damn, that rug really tied the room together. I feel like the Dude.

longknocker · 12-13-2010, 06:10 PM

I Agree, Kevin; They Shouldn't Destroy Your Home! You Need To Talk!

cleaning my hunting rifles.

oops, sorry, but while cleaning up your messes, we inadvertently changed the locks and left for a short retreat in the wood.

I have a backhoe...

GolfNut · 12-13-2010, 06:56 PM

Well, I had this reserved for my MIL but seeing as we're all family here I can loan it out to you for yours. Happy I could help!

Hugh spread some great words, I have this issue with the woman that lives there and her kids and I put up with it for 2 years mine be it was trying to make a family look past everyones character defects and etc. but 2 years later am walking in the resentments road and I lock myself with my son away from everyone or disappear with him for hours only to return to chaos and unhealthiness. Not judging just saying brother. many a time we had talks but issues didn't change so start the talks...you sound like a strong man, keep your wife into how you feel and whats going on and deal with it together.

Seriously, this is really getting out of hand and it's only Day Three. Send 'em to Jersey...I can just about guarantee they won't be returning to bother you ever again!
