Homeless in-laws complain about having to sleep in twin beds that their social worker daughter-in-law keeps in her guest room to temporarily home foster kids: 'I would rather house kids in unstable situations than my ungrateful in-laws'

Sometimes in your life, you have to work in a less-than-ideal living condition. I've known people who have slept on friends' couches for nearly a year to try to get back on their feet. Nearly every college freshman in America has to sleep in the same room with a total stranger for the whole duration of their first year away from home. People live in apartments in New York that only have a bed and a mini fridge without their own bathroom just so they can pay less than $1800 for a studio apartment. I don't think you're a bad person if you don't want to live in these conditions, but beggars can't be choosers. If you need a roof over your head and don't have anything to show for it, you might end up in a non-ideal situation for a couple of years, and there's little you can do about it but get through it.

The in-laws in this story were functionally homeless, but their son and his wife gave them two beds to sleep in while they worked out their financial woes. Instead of thanking them for their generosity, they complained about the size of the bed for months and dragged the rest of the family into this conflict.

AITAH for having two twin beds in my guest room instead of a queen, and refusing to let my in-laws change the room
