She Doesn’t Want Her Sister-In-Law To Stay Over Ever Again Because Her House Gets Trashed By Her Sister-In-Law’s Kids Every Time, And Her Sister-In-Law Doesn’t Lift A Finger

If you live on your own, do you ever have relatives who ‘drop by’ whenever they feel like it and claim they’re allowed to do it simply because they’re your family?
One woman recently insisted that her sister-in-law and her two kids aren’t allowed back in her apartment after they wrecked it on a recent last-minute visit.
She and her husband, Mike, have two kids, ages six and three. They live in a cozy two-bedroom apartment near the coast and have a nice routine in place.
“Life is generally good, but every year, Mike’s sister, Lisa, descends upon our home like a tornado with her two uncontrollable kids, aged seven and nine, turning our peaceful home into a war zone,” she explained.
“Last weekend was the final straw. Mike and I had planned a romantic evening. The kids were in bed, dinner was ready, [our] wine was about to be poured, and then the phone [went] off. It [was] Lisa, letting us know she and her kids would be here the next morning.”
Lisa and her two kids burst into their apartment around 9:00 am, and chaos immediately ensued. Within minutes, her kids began destroying things and messing up their home while Lisa sat down on the couch in front of their TV and asked for coffee.
Lisa’s kids’ behavior was destructive and affected everyone in the house. They knocked over her kids’ Lego creations, found markers and wrote on the walls, smashed in parts of their laminate flooring with a hammer, etc.
Meanwhile, Lisa didn’t do anything but watch TV.
In the middle of the heinous visit, Mike went to Lisa and suggested they take all their kids to the beach so she could have a break, as she was cooking and cleaning for everyone while everything was falling apart. Lisa refused to leave, as her favorite show had just come on, so Mike was left frantically trying to entertain the kids while she cleaned up everyone’s mess.

Once Mike’s entertainment wore off, Lisa’s kids ran wild again.
“Lisa paid zero attention to her kids [while] they were running wild, pulling cushions off the sofa, throwing food around, and leaving a trail of destruction,“ she recalled.
“I found her youngest smearing peanut butter on the curtains, and when I pointed it out to Lisa, she just shrugged and said, ‘Kids will be kids.‘”
” The breaking point was when Lisa yelled at my 6-year-old for ‘not being able to speak properly‘ during a game, which brought him to tears. Mike finally lost it and told her to help me in the kitchen.”
Lisa commented about not having to help because she was a guest while she and Mike were the hosts, which made her blood boil.
By the end of the terrible visit, Lisa’s kids had done so much damage to their apartment. The walls had been vandalized, their carpet was covered in spilled juice, and one of her lamps was broken.
Instead of apologizing, Lisa told her she should’ve put the lamp away if she didn’t want it to get broken.
“The minute they left, Mike and I knew this couldn’t happen again,“ she added.
“We spent the whole day cleaning and fixing things, and I could see how upset Mike was. He promised me that Lisa and her kids would never stay with us again, and honestly, I’m holding him to it.”
Should she feel bad for refusing to allow Lisa and her kids back into her home, or are her feelings valid?
