    The Setup

    Plant - I booked an AirBnB retreat for me, my husband, my SIL and her husband about 4 months ago. The AirBnB was not dog friendly and I made that perfectly clear, as my SIL thinks her dog should be welcomed everywhere, no matter the cost. She said she would find a dog sitter and I had no reason to question it.

    It was pretty generous of OP and her husband to offer to take their in laws on vacation like this! You'd think after all that, the two of them would be grateful and listen to the rules. And, at the start, it actually seemed like they were. They tried to get a dog sitter (allegedly), but wait until you see how the rest of this shakes out.

    Things Are Going South Quickly

    Font - The AirBnB was out of state, about 15 hours away on a really nice beach in Tampa. My husband and I flew down and my SIL insisted on driving so she left roughly 24 hours prior to our flight. She said it was cheaper to drive than it was to fly. When my husband and I arrived my SIL and her husband were already sitting in the driveway. When they saw me pull in she had asked if we got the keys yet, which we had because we met up with the owner along the way and she said "oh good, give them to

    This has got to be the shock of a lifetime, don't you think? You show up to enjoy your vacation, and before you can even step foot in the house, the whole thing is ruined. The sister in law probably knew what she was doing the entire time and just expected OP to roll over, but we still can't believe this happened.

    What Are We Thinking?

    Font - During this whole time my SIL is blowing us up saying she cant afford to stay down here (my husband and I make a lot more than SIL and her husband so we had agreed to pay for everything) and says she didnt bring anything with her to snack on and couldnt afford prices of shit here and whatever. I just straight up ignored her because in my eyes, she tried ruining my trip that I 100% paid for. My MIL is down our throats saying the least we could have done was give them some money for food in

    The Vacation Wouldn't Have Even Been Fun In The First Place

    Rectangle - MA superfastmomma - 6 days ago Craptain [195] ΝΤΑ If a person can't find a dog sitter they stay home. If a person can't afford snacks or food they absolutely have zero zero excuse for going on vacation. 28.2k Reply Give Award Share Report Save Follow

    The Longest, And Best Comment On The Thread

    Font - Evading_Suffocation 6 days ago Partassipant [1] NTA. She was going to knowing take her dog into a residence that prohibited it. She has ZERO right to defraud the homeowner just because she believes that anyone not welcoming pets is stupid. She's incredibly entitled to believe her beliefs & wishes can defraud the person who is allowing her to stay in their residence (& force you to be a party to her fraud). My son has a deadly allergy to cats - sudden onset - that almost killed him when he

    This Math Ain't Mathing

    These People Are The Worst

    Font - yahomeboysatan 6 days ago Partassipant [3] NTA - She ruined her own plans by refusing to follow explicit rules that she clearly knew she was violating. She left a day before you so she had plenty of time to discuss bringing the dog if she really had issues finding someone to watch it. It seems to me that she never seriously considered leaving the dog behind and thought she would get away with it if she didn't mention it before arriving. 7.2k Reply Give Award Share Report Save Follow

    Don't Be That Guy!

    Font - LynnChat - 6 days ago Asshole Aficionado [13] NTA. People like your SIL give those of us who travel with our dogs and rent vacation homes a bad name. If it doesn't allow dogs I don't rent it period. I would never ever pull the kind of selfish stunt she did. Reply Give Award Share Report Save Follow 2.5k
