"I know, Ryan," replied Isha, who had been listening to him talk about his in-laws. "But they had nowhere else to go. They are building a new house, and it's taking longer than expected."
"That's no excuse for the way they're behaving," Ryan retorted, feeling his blood pressure rise. "They don't clean up after themselves, they eat all our food, and they don't even pay rent."

"I know, but they're family," Isha said, trying to reason with her husband.
"But they're not acting like family," Ryan said, feeling frustrated. "I need to talk to them and set some ground rules. If they don't listen, we'll have to ask them to leave."
"Are you sure that's a good idea?" Isha asked, sounding unsure.
"It's the only option we have left," Ryan replied, his voice firm. "We can't let them continue to take advantage of us."

The next day, Ryan sat down with Pepe and Celia and explained how he felt. "You need to clean up after yourselves and buy your own food," he told them. "If you can't do that, then we'll have to ask you to leave."
Pepe and Celia looked at each other, their expressions darkening. "What does Isha think about this?" they asked.
"Isha doesn't agree, but she gave me her consent," Ryan replied.
Pepe and Celia erupted in anger. "You have no right to evict us!" they yelled. "Only our daughter has that right."

Ryan felt his patience wearing thin. "I'm sorry, but we can't continue like this. If you don't leave, I'll have to call the police."
Pepe and Celia stormed out of the house, slamming the door behind them.
Later that evening, Isha found out what had happened and was furious with Ryan. "How could you threaten to call the police on my parents?" she demanded.
"I had your consent," Ryan replied, feeling defensive. "And it's our house, we can do what we want."

"That's not the point," Isha said, her eyes flashing with anger. "They're family, Ryan. We should be helping them, not kicking them out."
Ryan sighed, realizing that he had made a mistake. "I'm sorry," he said, feeling ashamed. "I should have handled it differently."
Isha didn't respond, but the tension in the air was palpable. Ryan knew that he had a lot of work to do to make things right.
