       And again Hax goes straight to eleven/GoF with a husband who
       sounds like he's a doink.

       I'm probably in the minority, but I think when you housesit you
       treat the house as the owner would. If they'd let everyone in a
       5 block radius use the pool, you do too. It's not your house.
       You want a house where you get to use the pool in privacy? Pay
       for an Airbnb.

       I've house sat for my parents. I can't imagine telling their
       neighbors to fuck off.

       The LW took on too much work with no compensation and that is
       the problem.

       She wants the pool by herself and she's throwing a temper
       tantrum about having to share.
       [/quote]
       I think it’s a cumulative impact situation. The LW is house
       sitting for 4 dogs, cleaning, and organizing for a month. For
       free.
       The neighbors at the pool are easier to be mad at than her
       relatives so that’s where this is going.
       [/quote]
       Eh. I still think she's just pissed she hasn't gotten solo pool
       time.
       [/quote]
       I would be pissed, too.
       [/quote]
       I would be too. It's not a community pool. And LW didn't agree
       to be the neighborhood butler.

       In general, yes, but in specific, no. I'd be concerned about
       liability with heavy use of a pool.

       I think the very very least you can do when someone petsits for
       you for free, saving you hundreds of dollars, is give them the
       run of the house.
       Want to give your neighbors free reign of your pool while you're
       gone? Board your dogs. Or ask one of them to watch them.

       I zoned out during that question because it sounded like a
       vent/garbage collecting against her husband.
       I think they need to get an overnight sitter and talk less and
       fuck more.

       That would be my take.  It would drive me crazy to have
       strangers hanging out let alone telling me how to do my
       pet-sitting job.

       I think the problem in this letter is that the LW was viewing
       using the pool as part of the compensation for house sitting,
       dog sitting, cleaning, and organizing.
       I don’t think the LW wants an Air BnB with a pool. I think the
       LW wants this specific pool because she thought it was in
       exchange for her labor.
       The mistake from start to finish was unmatched expectations.

       I wonder why LW doesn't text or call their relative and discuss
       the situation with the pool. Like, boy your neighbors sure are
       here a lot! And make sure that's not a surprise and they are
       taking advantage of relative being out of town.
       If relative is fully aware and ok with the situation, asking if
       it's ok to set aside some time to not have them there. The
       relative should back LW up on this in gratitude for the
       fabulous, personal, hands on discounted pet sitting.
