To be annoyed that i have come home to find BIL in my sitting room

BIL and SIL live with us. They pay £500 per month for 2 rooms, bathroom, bills and dinner every day. Which is cooked for them. They have their own living room with tv, sky, x box etc. we have a living room downstairs which is our living room

I have been on a course this evening and was looking forward to lying on the sofa in my pants with cava watching some tv. I find that DBIL has covered my living room in his ironing and has just started watching a film. I am now really fucked off because i will either have to go to my bedroom or i will have to ask him to move as i (a) have things i need to do in the living room (b) don't want to watch what he is watching. This is a constant source of irritation but DH does not seem to care, jsut says i should ask him to move. I don't want to do this, i am fed up with it and i always feel rude asking

To put it into perspective we also have 4 foreign students and a 4 year old so quiet time is very rare for me. AIBU to expect that DBIL should be watching his own tv in his own lounge, not preventing me from watching mine or having to be asked to vacate

i wonder what would happen if you start going into their living room and leave your stuff lying around. sprawl on the sofa eating nachos and watching friends reruns.

Bland, that is true - except he knew i would be home at 10.30 ish but had just started watching a film when i got in. I guess i just expect them to magically to vacate my space when i get in because that is what i would do

Starting to watch a film in someone else's living room at 10.30 is pretty crap though!
