MizIndependent - that's exactly what they're like! And they have offered to pay, but DH likes to play big strong older brother and never lets them..... Fortunately SIL no longer works for the airline, so they don't come up as often as they used to. Unfortunately, since she no longer works, she's staying here for a month for the summer. Her DH can work remotely so he was back and forth all last week to use my DH's printer in his home office since the friends they were staying with had a non-working printer. And to check the house since they left it unlocked! I think he probably liked the quiet away from his crazy kids and wife and the kids of the friends they were staying with. Awful. Just awful. I'm impressed you're keeping it together. I have to say, if it were my DH - he'd be the one cleaning everything (shower, fridge, etc, etc). His family, his problem. Not that drinking is ever the answer in a situation like this, but I would certainly buy you a couple if I could.

Yeah, the next time they were scheduled for a visit, I'd be scheduling my own getaway. And my husband would be cleaning up after them, not me. Unbelievable! What she said......

My goodness I am currently recovering from a recent visit from BIL and SIL and nephew. Totally stressed me out but nothing compared to your story. I'm so sorry you are going through this.

I have no words... Here...you can borrow one of my reaction gifs: OMG!! This cracked me up!!! HAHAHAHA.... OP, I think it's awful that your DH excuses that kind of destruction to his own house. Sure, if he lived alone, but it is also YOUR home and I cannot believe he thinks it's okay. Inexcusable!!! I'd say it's time you moved to a hotel for the duration of the month and then see how he likes being the maid, cook and bottle washer!

Pssst - you know why they have a non-working printer don't you? Because the other "friends" learned and hid the working printer from him. I can see it now "Quick Mary, Bob & Sally are coming into town, hide the Canon and hook up the old HP from 1980 - kids, do all your printing over at Staples, we're hunkering down". See you guys need to go see these other friends and get tips!

Next time they come to town I would change the locks on them and your DH. I know it's hard to do but you need to stand up to your DH--this is just crazy.

I am saying this with the kindest of intentions: you need to have a serious talk with your DH about his attitude, damages, clean-up,and taking up the welcome mat for these people. I would call a cleaning service even if we had to eat beans for a week or two!

I let my dh read this thread and he was shocked! This behavior is totally unacceptable and your dh needs to put his foot down. It will only be worse next year if you don't do something about it now.

No way would I be able to deal with any of this. So they stay with you for a whole month? During this time you're paying for air conditioning and food, I'm assuming. Your SIL isn't cleaning or helping out around the house. It's a monthlong freeloading vacation for them.
I *might* be able to handle visitors for a week if they weren't rude and/or destructive, but a month? That amounts to a horrible summer. Time to have a talk with your dh.
I can't believe they just left the fridge like that knowing the food was going to spoil.

I think I have been shaking my head for 10 minutes reading all of this. There is just NO.WAY.IN.HELL that would fly here. None!
Guests usually wear out their welcome after about 2 to 3 days here. Family or not. And a month? My nerves would be shot and I would need to be heavily medicated if anyone stayed a month. I'm just too private and company wears on that.
The damages are just crazy. I don't even have words for that.
But really - the issue is between you and DH. It's best to be on the same page. I would talking until I was blue to convince DH that this wasn't acceptable for so many reasons and it would have to stop.
I am so sorry this is happening. I hope you can work it out.
And keep coming back here to see the fun reaction shots if you need a smile!

I would be packing their bags for them. Oh, and I would include a suitcase or two for DH.

Oh, you have a whole other level of problems beyond the destructive in-laws. I'm so glad they offered to pay. Frankly, they should have just taken care of it while you were gone. But, your DH is totally enabling them on your dime. Not good at all. You and DH need to have a heart to heart. He should be putting his family ahead of his sister and hers.

I'm horrified for you. I don't think I would have been able to keep my mouth shut and let my DH handle it. I would be asking them to leave pronto, and to shut the (damaged) door behind them. And I totally sympathise with the smell. I returned from holiday yesterday to find my freezer without power, and full of stinking, putrifying meat.

This reminds me of that time I had a 2 week old infant and 10 of my (not) closest in-laws rolled into town to go sightseeing in DC. I told dh they were welcome to come - but later! He had a million reasons it had to be *now* and why it wouldn't be so bad. I basically spent the whole time hiding in my room with the baby doing my best to avoid all of them. Dh just likes to be the savior of his family and can't say no to them. I can't believe they had the gall to even ask to come under the circumstances. But they're clueless that way. I think the only damage they did was make a hole in the basement wall by opening a recliner into it. So we didn't have too much loss in that regard. I just lost my sanity . Good luck to you!

Wow - I just can't believe these people. I'm so sorry you're having to deal with their crap and the fact that your DH doesn't seem to see the problem. I'd be having a come to Jesus meeting with him when these destructive people leave.

Aw, hell no. Seriously.
Absolutely.
I can't believe your husband doesn't have a problem with it. I wouldn't lift a finger to help them in any way the rest of the month. And moving into a hotel with daily facials/massages sounds good too.
