Andy and Sarah had given up their guest bedroom to store her parents\u2019 possessions for five years. After learning they were expecting, the couple asked the older couple to remove their possessions, sparking conflict and a surprise reward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Five years ago, my in-laws wanted to downsize. So they searched for the right tiny cottage for two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe have too much space and too many things,\u201d commented my father-in-law Greg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They asked to store some of their items in our house for a bit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s just the things we want to keep, darling,\u201d Greg informed Sarah, my wife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We didn\u2019t mind and had a guest room we didn\u2019t use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSure, Dad,\u201d my wife said. \u201cYou have the guest room temporarily.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Temporary is key.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But guess what? They never returned their items. They just kept coming more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sarah and I joked about how our guest room had become a storage unit. After moving the bed to the corner, the room was full of boxes and old furniture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhere should we store the vacuum?\u201d When we got a new vacuum, Sarah asked me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cToss it into the storage unit,\u201d I said, making my wife laugh.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
