AITAH for refusing to let my in-laws move in with us, even temporarily?

My wife’s parents are having financial issues.

They asked if they could move in with us “for a few months.”

We have the space.

But I know from past experience that “a few months” can easily turn into a year or more.

This man told his wife he didn’t want her parents moving in.

I told my wife I’m not comfortable with it.

I like my space, and I don’t want to feel like a guest in my own home.

She says it’s just temporary and that “family helps family.”

But I feel like once they’re in, getting them out will be a nightmare.

She got upset.

Now my wife is upset.

She says I’m being selfish and that we should support them.

I get that it’s a tough situation.

But I also don’t want to feel trapped in my own house.

AITA for saying no?

Don’t bet on it.
