My sister-in-law & her kids just left this morning! What a relief to have my own home back! I do miss them but I think it would be easier if they stayed elsewhere or just moved back ;) Our house is just big enough for all of us...

What extra steps do you take to make house guests comfy?

ersmommy1 @ersmommy1 (12587) • United States 9 Dec 08

People of course change the bed sheets and clean up a bit. But what else do you do? Fix special meals? Different soaps in the bathroom? Or do just expect them to make themselves at home, no special frills?

gitfiddleplayer @gitfiddleplayer (10362) • United States 3 Jun 08

I had my older brother live with me when I first got married, it wasn't a good idea and I felt like a father telling him he had to move out. It didn't strain our relationship, but it didn't allow me anytime with my spouse. Ever...

Do you feel bad about the people who cry on Reality TV?

vivasuzi @vivasuzi (4127) • United States 21 Aug 07

Honestly, I normally do not feel bad! Is that bad that I don't feel bad! I guess I see it as they put themselves into this situation and they know people are shady, and they know they MIGHT go home. Now I'm not talking about the...

Do you wear a robe, when you have guests sleeping over at your home?

beautyqueen26 @beautyqueen26 (16030) • United States 15 Aug 07

When I was growing up, we would visit my grandmother and like the gentle Southern lady she was, she insisted that everyone wear robes when they got up in the morning. It was simply not acceptable to run around in one's pajamas or...
