My Sister and Her Family Moved Into My House Without My Permission — Karma Hit Them Hard the Same Day
Phoebe’s peaceful life took a turn when her sister, Holly, and her family unexpectedly set up camp in her home without asking. Just as things seemed unmanageable, a knock at the door brought an unexpected twist.
I’m Phoebe, 31, living in my three-bedroom house. After years of hard work paying off my mortgage, it’s a space I cherish.
Holly, my older sister, is 38, married to Nicholas since high school, with two kids. While her free-spirited nature contrasted my stable lifestyle, I never minded—until recently.
A few months ago, they sold their home to travel the world, and I struggled with their carefree approach. Their social media posts were vibrant, but as reality set in, they slowed.
One evening, I returned home to find Holly, Nicholas, and their kids settling in, bags everywhere. “Surprise!” Holly laughed, explaining they’d used my spare key to return. “Only for a few months,” she added casually.
My mind raced. When I pressed them to leave, Nicholas resisted. With no way to call the cops without involving the kids, I locked myself in my room. That’s when Alex, a prankster friend, texted me, offering the perfect solution.
In no time, Alex arrived dressed as a cop, and his act convinced Holly and Nicholas to leave in a hurry.
Once calm, I realized family doesn’t give them a free pass to overstep boundaries. What would you have done in my shoes? Does family justify such an uninvited stay?
