Oh My! I would be totally ticked off too! You're right to be upset, however it's no excuse to smoke a stinky deadly lung suffocating nasty tasting cig! U know I'm right :)
Ok it's time to start DEEP BREATHING,,,RIGHT NOW! READY SET GO...DEEP BREATH IN...COME ON DO IT NOW,,,BREATH IN,,,,HOLD IT 1 2 3 4 AND LET IT OUT SLOWLY 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 BREATH IN...DEEPER...HOLD IT 1 2 3 4 AND LET IT OUT SLOWLY,,,NOW CLOSE YOUR EYES AND DO IT AGAIN,,,then come back and read the rest of this,,,seriously take 1 min for yourself and close your eyes and breath :)
Now,,,u can't do anything to undo what already happened today with them invading your space. However you can talk to your hubby after you've calmed down and u2 can set up some rules to protect your feelings. Set your boundries. For example "the parents" must call before coming over. As far as renting from them, there are laws to protect renters, like the landlord must give 24hrs notice or something like that.

And why will I do this, b/c I need the money. Whatever!
It's a long story, but bottom line is that no matter how nice/giving/or how many times I call just to say hi to her,,,she will always be the victim. In her eyes, I'm mean and never call unless I need money. Which couldn't be farther from th
