Parents copied holiday home

New to mumsnet. A few years ago we brought a holiday caravan by the coast. Shortly after my parents copied and brought just around the corner. My husband strongly dislikes my parents and now he no longer wants to go to our holiday home. I’ve asked my parents to not come over all the time but they really don’t get the message. They will just pop in to say hi because they were passing or come around to use the shower (their caravan is mobile but on a permanent pitch). Im so depressed about the whole situation. AIBU if i told them our holiday place is now ruined and they should have gave us that place to ourselves and not followed?

Why doesn't your husband like them? Do you like them?

I honestly couldn't be with someone who hated my family.

Why doesn’t you husband like them at all?

Just move. You didnt do anything wrong—your parents are intrusive people so regardless of what you said they would have followed you anyway. But now they have poisoned the place. So just move.

Sell or trade yours for another place.

Just put some boundaries down, no to using the shower they need to use the on site ones, tell them you have plans every day but will message them when you’re free to catch up

why doesn’t your dh get on with your parents? That seems relevant.
