Stressed! Advice Please?
Me & DH are renting an apartment from his parents, which is upstairs from their house.
However I am getting extremely stressed, because they keep letting their animals into our area. Including 2 big dogs & 4 cats.
I would not mind usually, but the cats have peed on our bed and flooring - so have had to replace both, which was not cheap. We also have the dogs breaking in - even with closed doors and ripping things apart.
I really am unhappy and stressed about this. How am I supposed to bring my baby back to this?
I have put a baby gate up, but everyone but us refused to shut it when coming up. Even though they have no reason to.
I know its there house, but we pay alot of money to live there and should not have to put up with this. I am also worried, because my partners mum is very forgetful and dont want un-flead/wormed animals in my flat.
I have spoken to them about putting a door and lock in, but they refuse to - even at our expense. I dont know what to

I know Amarylis, I have tried putting these points across to them, but they do not care in the slightest. They are more worried about their animals rather than their new grand baby.
My partners little brother is also very rude about it all, which makes me really sad - considering we used to get on very well before this all happened.

It seems like they are very fixed on their course so the best option may be to move at this point (if its possible). They don't seem to care much for you and your partner's wishes and you are right, you can't bring a baby into that. I would tell my parents, personally, to shape up or I would be the one shipping out. It may sound harsh but you have to think of yourself and your baby in this situation. Best of luck

sit together and write up a contract maybe? Tell them you can't bring a child in to such a place where things just aren't working for you, you need to get your husband on your side and stick up for you. You can't have your baby (THEIR GRANDCHILD) crawling around through wee and ripped up mess and you can't be doing with cleaning up after them when your baby is here, if they can't understand that then they are selfish and they need to know that. Tell them to either sort this mess and there attitude out or reduce the rent, I bet they won't like that. It is your flat that YOU pay for, they shouldn't be anywhere near up there unless invited. Like someone else said, they are breaking rules. It doesn't matter if it's your husband's parents or not, they should be professional and not invade your space.
