Family - What do I do?
Ok, I need some advice. Even if it's just some solace...
My sister in law, her husband and child (under 10) returned to Calgary from living out of country for a very long time. We let them live with us until they could find a place, get settled, etc. They came in spring- early summer, and lived with us (entire basement) until early fall.
My problem is this: they moved out probably 6 or so months ago, yet a lot of their stuff did not. And when I say a lot of their stuff, I mean most of it. They live in the city yet left their 2 bedrooms at our place a mess, half drank pops, bed unmade, clothes still in dressers, closets full hanging with their stuff, etc etc...
So, what do I do? Its the point now that they even joke about it...yet their stuff remains. I have 2 rooms in my house that are useless because of their stuff. They even joke about the space they have at their new place, if I wanted to bring some of my stuff over to store. They didn't ask if they could leave their stuff behind at our place, they didn't put it nicely in a corner, etc...they literally just got up and left, and left their stuff randomly wherever it was. Its most bizzare...
Is there anything I can do? Or since its my wife's family just grit and bare it until they randomly one day take all of their stuff. I find it very disrespectful, lazy and selfish (they have renovated their new place no problem, and have way more space then us). I Just don't understand.
