AITAH for kicking out my gf's sister and her kids out of my flat after my gf gave her the keys
The original poster (OP) was unexpectedly called back home from a two-week work trip after only four days due to a scheduling change.
Upon arriving at his apartment early in the morning, the OP was shocked to find his girlfriend's sister, her husband, and their children occupying his space without his prior knowledge.
The situation escalated when the OP learned his girlfriend had given permission for her entire family to stay in his apartment for the remainder of his intended absence, purely for their vacation.
After a heated confrontation where the family refused to leave immediately, and discovering that his private medical prescriptions had been disturbed and medication potentially taken, the OP demanded they vacate.
This action has resulted in severe backlash from his girlfriend and both sides of their families, leaving the OP questioning his response and seeking external judgment.

The core conflict centers on the OP's right to privacy and control over his personal residence versus the girlfriend's a*sumption that she could grant indefinite access to her family without consulting him first.
The OP's strong emotional reaction was triggered not only by the uninvited guests but also by the severe breach of trust involving his private medical supplies.
The debate lies between respecting personal boundaries, especially regarding one's home and private documents, and accommodating family needs or maintaining relationship peace.
Readers must weigh whether the OP's immediate, forceful removal of the guests was justified given the invasion of privacy, or if a less confrontational approach was necessary to manage the relationship fallout.
