Someone wanted to move in???? Did you let them back in?

I live in a small city which is a popular tourist spot, so the requests and hints about people coming to visit in the summer are ridiculous. I can't stand overnight house guests, so I just say no. It's been sort of an issue with my boyfriend -- his family wants to visit, but I want them to stay in a hotel (or at their own home four states away).

His brother and his family visited last year and were the worst house guests ever-- they even tried to extend their stay by simply not leaving! Guess who has been angling to visit? Even after we said no this year?

Interestingly, both my boyfriend and I grew up in families where having friends over wasn't really possible for various reasons. Neither of us invite people home now. I think it isn't just the mess after all.

A friend came to my place so we could carpool today, so I cleaned my bathroom just in case she asked. She didn't, thankfully, but at least it is sparkling now

Thank you all, it is great to know we aren't alone
