AITA for telling my wife her sister and her boyfriend can’t keep crashing at our small place

“AITA for refusing my in-laws to stay in our tiny apartment without consent? Reddit debates boundaries and ownership in this family dynamic.”

 

Are you the jerk for not wanting your in-laws to stay at your cramped 1 bedroom apartment when they visit? Well, picture this: your wife’s sister and her boyfriend keep crashing at your place unannounced, cluttering your space with their belongings, leaving their dog behind, and causing chaos.

Original Post

My wife, Sue, keeps letting her sister, Lisa, and Lisa’s boyfriend, Max, crash at our place. They visit often, and Sue never asks me first.

This bugs me. Our apartment is only 700 square feet, not much room for guests.

Their visits are happening more and more. They bring a lot of stuff that clutters our living room.

I have to tip-toe around their mess to get to the door. They spend the day drinking and smoking, then leave their dog with us when they go out.

They never ask if they can bring the dog. They never even ask if they can come.

They just tell Sue they’re coming and she lets them. Sue even moans to me about them coming last minute and staying too long.

But she never tells them this. Once, their puppy made a mess in our apartment and chewed up our wall trim and Sue’s shoes.

They didn’t say sorry. They were too busy partying and not watching their dog.

The last time they visited, they didn’t stay long. I had plans and told Sue they couldn’t stay long.

They forgot their bedding so they left after one night. As they were leaving early in the morning, Max was drunk and yelling about something.

He left the door wide open, letting in the cold air. Lisa told him he was embarrassing her, but he didn’t listen.

They finally left. A couple days later, Sue told me they wanted to visit again soon.

I told her no. Our apartment is too small for guests and I don’t sleep well when they’re here.

I work a lot and pay all the rent and bills. Sue doesn’t pay for anything.

She told me it’s her home too and she can do what she wants. Her family can stay whenever they want.

So, AITA for standing my ground and telling her they can’t keep staying with us?
