Letting my sister-in-law use our house for Christmas turned into a nightmare when we returned.

Max asked me once, “If Aunt Mandy is family, why did she do that to us?”

I told him the truth.

“Because sometimes family is selfish. And in the end, we have to look out for ourselves before letting her walk over us.”

We got the stains out.

So yeah.

I let my SIL use our house over Christmas.

When we came back, it looked like a stranger’s party had exploded in our living room.

We got the stains out. We replaced the broken things.

But the trust is gone for good.

Was the main character right or wrong? Let’s discuss it in the Facebook comments.
