OK to ask in-laws for $$ for 1/2 a guest bed?

[slackerinabox]

I haven't read the whole thread, so I'm not sure if this is addressed, but how exactly does a cat destroy a mattress? You know you can clean mattresses, right? If you're throwing away a perfectly good mattress because your cat pissed on it, you have no right to bitch about being poor TBH.

Pooed on top, dug out a hole on top (didn't get to the spring but pulled out fiber fill), peed in that hole, and there was puke on it too.

Are you the guy who smokes weed with your wife every night?

hahaha - back when I was employed. Finished the last of my stash and haven't used a single unemployment check for the sticky icky.

hmm give up my bed for guest? hell no. they want a nicer bed they can stay at a motel.

i am all for makeing guest feel at home but that goes far beyond what is called for.

Guess you shouldn't have wasted all your money on drugs.

Who said I wasted all my money? I have a house that's utterly important to me and, now that I'm unemployed, every bit in savings is designated to the house - if my tenant has say a plumbing emergency, I'm prepared. My mortgage is also secure, even if I have to be without work for 3 months more. Nothing to do with wasted money.

Rent a bed for a month and ask them to pay for it. It would still be way cheaper for them versus a hotel in NYC.

The other option is for them to shoe horn their rears onto the futon. Just say "look. an air bed is the best I can do right now considering my job situation. You are more than welcome to stay at my house but I simply can't afford the accommodations you are asking for. I would be happy however, to rent a bed for you provided you reimburse me."

Sorry if this has been said. I'm not reading three pages about paying for a bed.

This.
It's your mother-in-law. She's in the wrong for demanding something other than what you have, but she's still your mother-in-law.

And it's your wife who should deal with her mother, not you.

This so much.

Also, I 2nd the notion that you give up your bed for the in-laws, if it's only a few nights. Unless you fear the M-i-L getting freaky with her "church friend."

another WILD WILD WILD crazy idea...

let them use your bed (if it's big enough) and you rough it out on the fouton for the duration of their stay.

these ideas... so crazy... wow. i better just stop now.

:thumbsdown:

haha that is fvcking rich, telling inlaws you're coming to visit and oh while you're at it the bed situation you're offering isn't going to work so get us something better.

I'd buy the bed, then when they're sleeping douse them in gasoline and set aflame and ask them if the bed is cozy enough for them.

Anyway, glad to see you got some money for the new bed!

LOL. Well, that would about do it.
