Is She the Bad Guy for Protecting Their Investment? 🤷♀️
Our protagonist stands her ground, refusing to let certain family members use their newly renovated vacation home. She's been called controlling and a gatekeeper for denying access to those who've previously trashed the place. 😤 Her in-laws even offered a security deposit, but she knows $500 might not cover potential damages. 🙅♀️ The family thinks they shouldn't have renovated if they didn't want to share, but she believes it's their right to protect their investment. 💪 Let's see what the internet thinks of this situation...
