In-laws
My in-laws own a mountain house...and we go as a family usually once or twice a year for a weekend. The rest of the time my husband and I go without them. It is so nice to have the use of a retreat home (especially without the in-laws!) My mil can be pretty obsessive about the neatness too though perhaps not as extreme. She wants the sheets ironed at the end of each visit - we stopped that by taking our own sheets. We do clean the place up as well as we can before we leave - heck it's usually cleaner than my own house by the time we walk out the door! Anyway - I would go for a trial weekend. If your fil is ridiculously anal about it, then I would leave. Maybe you can offer to help pay for a cleaning service after you leave. Tell them if they want to spend time with you and your children in their beach home then they are going to have to give a little on the toilet seats and other things! If they are not willing to work with you, go home or to a hotel!
