My husband's cousin dives in without asking.
  • Floating plastic "poo".......?

    Just kidding.......sort of.

    As others have pointed out here ideally your husband should be handling this by talking to his cousin directly. Yes, he did say "anytime", but she is taking advantage of his offer and being both rude and intrusive.

    If he won't deal I would suggest a fence and a locked gate. I'm also wondering what your liability would be, insurance wise, if one of the cousin's children drowned (heaven forbid) in your unfenced, unsupervised pool during one of their unannounced visits? You may want to talk to your insurance provider. That would also give you an excellent reason for restricting use of the pool to anyone, let alone the cousin, without causing hard feelings, and that aspect might get your husband to rethink his pool policy.
