I hope you enjoy this story. Expelled my window and her relatives for abandoning stained hygiene items throughout my residence. Now my relatives-in-law are insisting that I readmit them. My spouse has a pair of siblings and one sister. His sister and her husband are not my favorite people in the world. Recently they have been couch surfing as they lost their home, long story which could have been avoided if they had adult like they should have. First they stayed with my in-laws, but they used the excuse

that my Phil has diabetes to get rid of them and their rowdy children. Next was his older brother and his wife. They had two spare rooms as two of their older children moved out a year ago and they only have the six-year-old and their 13-year-old twins at home. After three weeks they had to move out due to a planned refurbishment. They were happy with them as they were generally tidy and helped out in the home. The youngest brother was the next to take them in. While my sill was there, she helped out in the home and kept her children

on a leash. The youngest brother's wife is very house-proud and she allowed them to stay for a limited time only as they have had a baby recently and her mother will be staying with them to help out for the first six months. Then they emotionally manipulated my husband to say okay. I agreed to it on the condition that she and her husband as well as their children keep the place clean, because in the past the only place they are messy and is my home. For example, if they are throwing something into the kitchen bin, they will throw it in the general direction of it and not in the actual bin. It's extra gross when it's food stuff that dries up and stinks out the place. Similar things happened in the past where she would leave her sanitary towels on top of the

bin lid in the bathroom instead of in the bin. Her oldest daughter started her periods recently and I asked the younger brother's wife how things were for tidiness. She said she had no complaints. They went to bed on time and kept the place clean. However, they were there. for only two weeks. They are always tidy at the other houses. I know this from experience too. During Christmas and summer holidays when we stay over at each other's places I have seen the difference in how they are at my place and the other places. Before they moved and I made the younger brother, and my parents-in-law's witnesses to them agreeing to keeping my house as clean as it is and to chip in with chores. If they broke the rules they would be out immediately. She fussed and

denied past wrongdoings but said as you wish your highness sarcastically. The first five days were smooth sailing. This morning I found a sanitary towel on top of the bin and not even wrapped properly. That is not all. Her daughter is staying in my daughter's room and she made a mess of the shampoo and conditioner in her bathroom and had left a tampon on the side of the sink for getting it from last night. Her husband leaves early for work in the kitchen was a mess when I finally got downstairs. I have a curious toddler and I don't want him to pick up a bloodied sanitary towel. I knocked on the guest room and told her to pack her shit and get out. She looked angry and tried to play innocent. She said it was only some blood and to chuck it in the bin if it bothered

me so much. I told her no and picked up her suitcase throwing their stuff in it. At first she wouldn't leave the house saying she was going to wait for her brother as she doesn't take orders from me, but I told her this house belongs to me too. I dropped her and her youngest ones off at my in-laws. A few hours ago her husband came back from work and when I wouldn't let him and he made a scene. He went to my in-laws, but they don't want them there due to fill illness. When my husband returned from work my in-laws turned up in our driveway with her and her family within 20 minutes.

They are still standing outside and squabbling about being let in. I refused to open the door and told my husband if he backs me. down he isn't welcome in our home either. So, the family thinks Ada because I have never liked her and am using any excuse to get rid of her. Comments, Mobile underscore Prune underscore 3,207. I would have taken photos of the sanitary items left out and send it on a giant group chat saying anyone who thinks you're a monster for having a problem with this is more than happy to come and clean it themselves or host the family themselves. NTA deleted, Jesus, do you know the ramifications of medical waste? Lord have mercy. That's aggressively gross. I can't.

Just can't. Mobile underscore Prune underscore 3,207. I used to work for a surgeon so I've seen some pretty gross things, but even this is hugely disgusting. Lady Karu, clearly she's doing it on purpose because she doesn't like you. There's no way that they are perfect guests everywhere else but wreck your house without a being intentional. Critical underscore Lemon underscore 4,072 op. That is exactly what I told my husband. He says maybe excuse them this once and if they do it again give them consequences. Alternative item 747. No, not only will she do it again but it gives them proof they can manipulate him into going against you. External underscore expert underscore 269. Nope. You don't want them to claim squatters' rights or something and be stuck with them. You were clear on the rules.

Karzan Kitty, NTA. It should have been done the second the bitch called you, Your Highness. Stifx, see, this right here is the problem. Being sarcastic just now lost you the right to stay at my house. Good luck and fuck off, should have been the appropriate response. Half line, you don't have a you have a husband problem. It sounds like your husband would be okay with your toddler picking up a use to tampon and taking a taste, like toddlers do. There is a good chance they were not cleaning up after themselves at the other homes. Because there was a very convenient pre-existing disease, then a refurbishment, then another family member staying for six months. I'm willing to bet the others lied to you so you would be stuck with her. Her choice to fuck around and find out.

NTA Update 1 Yesterday my driveway looked like a scene from some Mexican standoff They were out there discussing the matter while I refused to go out and engage After two hours, yes two whole hours they left They are currently at my in-laws

But they made a promise to return to discuss the matter tomorrow as everyone will be home from work In that way we could all find a workable solution Well, at least that is what my husband relayed When my husband got inside I told him that I would not have them in my house. I told him that he could clean up after them, which he did. After cleaning up he asked me why I made him do that. I told him I was just as grossed out over other people's bodily fluids as he was,

and unlike him I wasn't biologically related to them. So if he found it unsavory, imagine how shitty I felt in the past cleaning up after them. He promised to buy a new bin and bleached the sink three times. Our strategy for tomorrow is that under no circumstances are they coming to live with us. His niece will be made to clean up the bathroom shampoo and conditioner mess. He left that part for her. In the meantime our daughter can use our shower. We'll see how this turns out tomorrow.

Comments, Imshkir, good. Stand your grunt on this. Sounds like Sil wants to mess with you and has instructed her daughter to do the same. and WTF, why is your husband asking why he should clean? The question should be why he thinks you should. Cordade, more like her daughter has learned the bad manners from her mom. She's just following in mom footsteps. Beck 2010, If I were you, I would not let the niece back into the house.

Yes, she made the mess, but the whole point is to get them out. Not let them back in to clean. Bite the bullet and clean up the niece's mess. mess. No reason to re-enter your home if the mess is taken care of. Have hubby clean up the mess, SK-1999 SK. I agree, do not let the niece in to clean. Your in-laws will use it as a way to get in. Pay a professional service to clean your daughter's bathroom and hand a copy of the bill to bill and sill. Obviously they won't pay you back but let them know if any relatives try to get you to take them in again. You will share pictures and a copy of the bill via text, what's

or whatever social media family uses. They are so disgusting I would never allow them in my home and would trespass them from my property. The underscore Crown underscore and underscore anchor. I had a buddy who was temporarily homeless for about six weeks he crashed on my couch I barely knew the dude lived there. He'd be up and out the door before I left for work. Sheets and blankets on the couch would be neatly folded.

His bags would be stacked in a corner and the bathroom would be same as it would have been if I was the only one living here. He knew I was doing him a solid so he was respectful of my home and my space one would think that if you and your family were technically homeless, that you would not be such inconsiderate slobs. Critical Lemon underscore 4,072 op. Your buddy had common sense and decency, my sill not so much. Update 2. Yesterday was a long day at my in-laws.

We went early to get it over and done with. My in-laws started with the guilt trip first. They mentioned that they would take them in until they found a place, but due to fill diabetes it wouldn't be good for his health. I told them to tell their daughter to parent her children so they wouldn't run around a muck like monkeys. That way they could stay with them as they have spare bedrooms. That didn't land well with sill. She went on a tirade of how I've always been jealous of her

and that I was trying to drive a wedge between her and her brother. I told her she didn't like her own life, so me being jealous of her and her life was a stretch that required suspension of reality. She asked my husband if he was okay with me telling him what to do with his family as he always stays out of my family's business. She told him to lay down the law and tell me that his cider and her family would stay as long as I.T. took them to find a new place to stay. My husband was having none of that. He told her that the house was mine just as much his and it was a two yes and one no deal. Just because I was stay-at-home now didn't mean that I didn't contribute to buying the house

when I was working. The younger brother and his wife said they wouldn't be able to host them as they had his mill staying due to the baby. The older ones mentioned the refurbishments. Both the younger and the older one's wife said that I was making it up about the cleanliness as she always kept her own house clean and kept their places clean. They told me to suck it up and act like family. I told them I wasn't there to argue about her cleanliness as I said. I saw what I saw and her brother was witness to it and had to clean it up. He confirmed that he did and that I wasn't making it up. My sill slipped up and said, why did you clean it up to her brother? Because according to her I was meant to clean it up. Either she is the dumbest bitch alive to

admit it or she knows she has the whole family in her pocket. Either way I made it clear she wasn't going to stay with me and because she got along much better with everyone else in the family they would figure out something around their own lives. My husband told his niece, that she was old enough to clean up the remaining mess, but she said no. Her father jumped in and said she is your niece, but my daughter don't you dare tell her what to do. It got heated between them so they both had to walk it off. I told her and her husband that the only reason me and my husband were there was to get money back for the bin we had to throw out due to her sprinkling biohazards around the house. She laughed in my face and said it would never happen.

I said fine. I hope you realize that when I threw you out I didn't. didn't pack all your belongings. I still had her daughter's switch, her husbands and her two younger ones tablets and some of her jewelry, and a few other bit and pieces as it all happened so quickly that day. It would all be sold to recuperate my cost. We left, but she was yelling loudly about what she would do to me if I dared to sell anything. My husband has my back and he said, go ahead and sell whatever you need too. Later on they kept texting my husband to do them one last favor by putting up with her for a few months until she got back on her feet. I told him that no matter what I wouldn't agree to let her, her slobby husband and her horde of

children back in. They texted me too, gilting me about his niece's education. With no place to stay close to her school she might have to start at another school if they get a rental which isn't in the school zone. I texted back tough luck and blocked them. My husband won't block his parents but was pissed at his brothers for telling him that he was selfish to not take them in as they were in a hard place in their lives. They did admit it was gross but excused her behavior by texting that maybe I did something to aggravate it. To top this off, the oldest wife left a voice message through her husband's number to my husband's

WhatsApp. She said, I kid you not. You are still okay to watch, her six-year-old, on Tuesdays and Wednesdays like usual. I told him to say, figure out what the answer to that report. request is. So that is where we are at now. Comments, Rivenwave, good for your husband sticking up for and backing you up. I can't believe the audacity of this family still expecting you to watch their child after all this. Critical Lemon underscore 4,072 op, the sill is not asking me to watch her child. The older brother's wife wants me to continue watching her child as I have done

up until now. She works full time and overtime on those days. I no longer feel like helping her out. Rivenwaffe, oh yes, I realize that. I don't know how she think it's okay after they all berated you for this. I don't blame you for not wanting to do it. I'd want nothing to do with the family after this. Mouse underscore attack, she called your husband about it. Not you?

This entire clan believes you are unworthy of basic respect. I can't believe they thought they would get what they want from bullying you more. Most people with sense would have tried abject apologies and promises to do better. Docs Hunt Mom 5. Sure, we treat you badly. Expecting you to clean up biohazards that decent people wouldn't expect of a paid house cleaner, but you're the selfish one for refusing to be a doormat and take the abuse and filth thrown your way. Your in-laws are ridiculous. All of them. Is your husband appalled by the lot?

They expect you to keep babysitting. You know they are showing up with the kiddo as usual. even though they treated you like crap. Then, of course, it's birthdays and holidays with the guilt trips. My hair is on fire 2023, Lord. Now I need another update on what he tells them about six-year-old. Wow. I don't think I've ever seen such a combination of audacious and entitled and simply cruel behaviors all wrapped into one horrific family.

So sorry you had to deal with any of this. Even five days of that was an insult you husband should be forever sorrowful for making you endure. Update 3, went to pick up my children, and had to stick around a little longer as a new family is moving to the area. The parents wanted to meet their children's classmates' parents. So we had a small meet and greet. The office brought my husband's older brother's daughter, the six-year-old, to me as I am the one that usually picks her up and on Tuesdays and Wednesdays she stays with me. No one had picked her up and when her teacher noticed me waiting in the hallway she asked an office admin to bring her to me thinking

I was delayed due to meeting with the new parents. I told them that I wasn't responsible for her anymore on Tuesdays and Wednesday. They took her back to the office and they must have called her mother. When I returned home from the meet and greet my husband said his parents had called him and spoke in their mind to him about me abandoning their granddaughter. They also put his older brother's wife on the phone and she had a shouting match with my husband. Still I kicked out also had a few words with him. It ended with my husband telling his parents that they had lost the privilege to talk to him for a week and he would only unblock them when they give him and me a sincere apology. He explained that it was up to the parents to make pickup arrangements when I had made

it clear I would no longer provide free services. The sill I kicked out is staying with her parents for now. Her husband and her younger two and two of the older ones are staying with my in-laws. The other older two are and the other two younger ones are spread between the other two houses. But they made an indirect threat saying it would be a very temporary arrangement as she promised it wouldn't take long for her to make her brother see the light. I think I am in for a long ride." Comments, astronaut No 920, Like I think they can't get any more crazy and they continue to astound me.

I can't even imagine being in your shoes. Good luck with the crazy. I hope y'all hold your boundaries. Fride of Cape Town, Huukai, time for Op to update her security system, get new cameras outside and inside the common areas of her property, block access to all socials and phone numbers and give the school explicit instructions. Followed by a confirmation email that under no circumstances is anyone but her slash husband permitted to remove the kids from school. Crazy bitch rabies is not age or gender specific. Op needs to take precautions.

Astronaut no 920, you're not kidding they seem like very lifetime movie psycho type of people. DCK 133, so the silly you kicked out has eight kids. Critical Lemon underscore 4072 op, yes, I think I mentioned that in the comments of the original post. DCK 133, didn't read the comments. We'll go back and do that now. Do you know why she hates you? Critical Lemon underscore 4072 op, no idea. I have always treated her with respect.

Hawkeying DC, so clearly the same. still can't work with eight kids, but they've been couch surfing with various family members for months. Did they give any idea when they'll actually get their own place again? Critical Lemon underscore 4072 op, none. When they are good and ready. That is an actual quote from her. Hawkeene DC, so, never.

If they can continue to leach off family members, all while presumably building a nice little nest egg, they have zero incentive to leave. I hope the kids don't grow up to be as entitled as the parents. Thursday, Lulu, Roo, so even after you told her you wouldn't pick up six yo, they still expected you to? Looks like your husband's family are full of A-holes. Critical Lemon underscore 4072 op. She wasn't at school yesterday, so they had plenty of time to let her teach her now, but I guess it wasn't important to them.

Vegetable cod 2340, no, they just thought that you would feel bad about leaving her there. They did that intentionally, banking on you caving. I feel bad for the niece, but glad you didn't give in. My hair's on fire 2023. It ended with my husband telling his parents that they had lost the privilege to talk to him for a week and he would only unblock them when they give him and me a sincere apology. Hey, look at husband. Finally treating them like the spoiled children they've all been behaving like all along.

Time out and everything. It sounds like he's finally opened his eyes and is playing for the right team. Purple Puffer P, I think it was so smart on Op to make him have to clean up their disgusting biohazard mess for a change. It's amazing how viewpoints change when you are all the sudden directly affected. Nayak, maybe it's my own fault for not reading comments but eight kids appearing in the last update just blindsided me. Surely you mention eight kids as a reason for throwing the family out.

housing eight kids is doing a lot to help even if they are perfect the filthy dill wonder if they were also making demands about bedrooms like their oldest daughter deserves her own room so oop's children can go bunk with the other seven kids alternative underscore year underscore three hundred and forty this screams missing missing reason like oop is a different race slash religion also i never understand that you have to take them in why don't they pitch in for an air bn bn bn b for a set period of time. Rogash advanced her, she said they're from the same race slash religion, but the sill doesn't like her because she is older than her husband,

Sil's brother. Throw away gremlins, I think Oop also said in comments that Sill is used to bro slash up hubby being a pushover to her, so maybe that was the expectation. Fries with shake booty, I hope her husband's spine continues to be shiny and strong. It sounds like he was the sibling who always kept the peace. Screw that. This post hit a nerve. I may not be a pushover, but my siblings have long treated my life events as less than.

At first I had all the time and resources because I was single. Next, I still had all the time and resources because I was married but not yet a parent. Reproducing has made them back of a little. Just a bit. Similarly, all the other family members have reasons Sill and her brood can't stay, and oops reasons are the only invalid ones. Thank you.
