Woman Can’t Stand Her BIL’s Family Destroying Her Home, Kicks Them Out And Makes Them Homeless
Home sweet home! This is where we can finally relax and be ourselves and therefore tend to be the least happy with intruders making chaos, let alone destroying the place… even when the intruders are actually one’s extended family members it is only a question of time until the ticking bomb will explode and the people who refused to respect the minimal rules of the house owner will be asked to leave. At least this was the result after this Redditor’s in-laws turned her house upside down.

She did set some ground rules, like cleaning up after themselves and respecting her space, but it was of no help

The BIL’s family began to slowly destroy the house, never cleaning up, coloring walls and trashing the living room

It culminated when she came back to her bedroom only to find her mom’s handmade vase shattered on the floor
A woman took it to Reddit after she got her house trashed so badly that she kicked her husband’s family out despite them having nowhere to go and asked people online if she was a jerk to do so.
It all started when her brother-in-law’s family got evicted and needed a place to stay. Even though due to her previous experience, the woman hesitated, after talking it through with her husband, she agreed to let them stay in her family house, laying out some basic rules of respecting her space and cleaning up after themselves.
Unfortunately for everyone, the in-laws couldn’t care less about respecting the house owners and went in the opposite direction, plunging the house into utter chaos. The family would never clean up after themselves, leaving dirty dishes and pans behind, and even if they would eventually do it after being asked, it was never a job well done.

The woman ended up kicking the BIL’s family out despite them calling her cruel for making them homeless
The woman’s sister-in-law, who normally stays at home, would spend most of the time in her room, while her children would run rampant around the house, which ended in colored bedroom walls, trashed living room, and plants knocked over. And it reached its culmination when the woman came back to her bedroom only to find that her vase handmade by her mother, whom she lost in her teenage years, was shattered on the floor.
It is then that the woman informed her husband his brother’s family would not stay another day in their house, placed all their belongings on the lawn, and kicked them out despite her in-laws calling her heartless for making them homeless.
Joseph Van Deuren for Balanced Lifeskills discussed respect for the items that others value. He noted that it is as simple as taking notice what are the things that have special significance to other people due to their monetary or sentimental value and making sure to ask for permission if we wish to borrow them, and not being careless about ruining them. Deuren made a similar point of being attentive with people’s belongings – furniture, dishes, toys, etc., which is all about respecting other people by also valuing their property.
Redditors shared their takes on the situation
These aita posts drive me nuts. "Hey, my neighbor called me fat and stabbed me, so I cursed him out and called the cops. Aita? My relatives say I took things too far."
I TOTALLY agree with you in most cases. Alot to the time, people KNOW they aren't the a*****e. Lol. But, I could see why she's genuinely concerned that she might be a jerk in this case. If it were just the BIL & SIL, that would be one thing, but them having small children might have her legitimately thinking that she might be cruel for kicking them out with no place to go

How did the useless mum allow her children to play in their hosts bedroom when they already pissed on the hosts couch because they were unsupervised? Utterly feral minded family, they are suffering the consequences of their own failures to parent and behave like civilised adults in other people's homes. I do feel for the kids, they are undisciplined through clear neglect of their lazy mum who should have laid clear rules and kept them in her care and sight, especially on someone else's property. Dad is useless and just as lazy too, if he is not actively out job hunting, why did he not do his share to supervise and care for his kids? He is an entitled brat and now is paying the price.
OP writes that MIL is poor and lives on the other side of the country so she vat take them. Seems to me that since they have a care and the kids aren’t even school age, they can d@mn well drive there and the three adults can figure it out. But no, MIL is just going to cry that she can’t help at all and blame OP for her creeper scumbag son not having his sh!t together.
Load More Replies... They were already homeless. OP was the solution to their homelessness. It's amazing how rare common sense is these days.
Yes indeed. By the standards of the state I live in, living with a family member/friend who is not helping pay for anything, is considered homeless.
