Houseguests...

[green carnation]

i was brought up to believe a host does whatever necessary to make ones guests comfortable. Whatever, even leaving lights on and tearing up house rules! And it is hard work. And then there are those friends who bring their children...and my manners are tested to the extreme. I will accommodate vegetarians, horses and dogs happily. Children are quite another story, although it is usually the parents that are bothersome

I would so EMPTY your fridge!:smile:

You *Might* find enough scraps in there to make lunch.

One good thing about having guests is that because they are so grateful for the beds with goose down covers, the two extra computers, their own bathrooms, the rooftop garden and the location just steps from the beach, they take me to nice restaurants I recommend! Bring your VISA card Luka. :tongue:

I am a person who likes to be around people, so having a houseguest is something I'm looking forward to everytime, provided he or she is a friend of mine.

I like having house guests but what always gets me - whether it's friends or even family - is the basic lack of respect for another's space and things in said place. A host shouldn't have to be subjected to house maid duty to pick up after guests. The guests should appreciate the room and board, should pick up after themselves and mind the house rules.

My brother and my nieces (4 & 8) came to visit. They were little monsters. Leaving the fridge open. Taking handful of DVDs off the shelves and leaving them around the house. Leaving food around the house . . . and it goes on. And then he got ticked at me when I told them they weren't allowed to touch *anything*, period. Screw that . . . Last time they did this, they left everything as is and I was cleaning up after them for weeks - including some painting touch up and I'm still looking at a bright red cranberry juice stain in one of the bedrooms.

I don't mind general disarray (towels in the bathroom, jackets on the couch, shoes in the hallway. . .) because we're anxious to be out and about with the limited time they're visiting, but please . . . the rest is just disrespectful and shows a lack of self discipline if you ask me.

House guests are like fish - after three days they stink, and should be thrown out.

I don't keep the shitty friends. So mine are all wonderful. :tongue:


It helps if you gut them when they first arrive.

I hate'em, thats why i purposely dont have a guest room and hard, hard wood floors.

Crossed of my list of places to visit ^

Seriously, these posts made me pmsl.:biggrin1:

Guests should only stay for a maximum of three to four days, and likewise when you visit. Even with my parents I seldom stay longer. Short and frequent visits are best. You can upset each other without wishing to.
