I have been coping with some houseguests that opted to come and visit for one week. ** In my family we have a rule. Three days makes the best amount of time to visit. You are so very glad to see one another that you spend as much time together as possible. You get everyone's undivided attention because they have to make the most of the limited time you are going to be there. You are out of there before anyone has a chance to get on anyone's nerves. So it is now day four. My nerves have officially been gotten on. Toilet seat being constantly left up--this was a problem I didn't have in my home even living with 2 males. The toilet seat has actually been cracked and now has to be replaced. Soda cans being left all over the place--kitchen counters, coffee table, night stands, dining room table..... I can't wait to be able to walk around my house in my underwear again. I miss being able to leave my bedroom door open. I want my house back!

You can't help these kind of " MY WISH" people. These guys are like pain in a ss.. But you can't get rid of them easily. Coz you don't want to ruin relationships. I can understand ur problem here is very critical and genuine. Well my advice to you is make them understand that you don't like the house all messed up. YOu guys are staying here with me you are not Paying guest here so help me with daily household works and stop messing around... Don't feel afraid to say so after all these people come in category of people who will never understand until and unless some one kicks their as s and makes them realize.. So don't worry as you know newton said a object be in motion until and unless some external force is applied on it.. So best of luck.... buddy.

Geez, where was your rule two years ago?! This year (2008) we stayed home but the two years before that my mom and I traveled to stay with her brother over Christmas and both times we were there for six days. I was so ready to go home by the end that I gave up spending New Years Eve with my friends just so I could be at home, sleeping in my own bed again. But I also now where you are coming from with the "I want my house back" thing. When I had my own apartment, one of my roommates' boyfriends was a Marine and he would spend his leave time with her, in our apartment. And I spent his leave time in my room for fear of walking out and finding them making out on our couch! Or worse, find him cooking in his underwear....that was awkward.

Hey! You have have to be like you're with your family. Dont let this thing would make you sad. Think that you should be happy that you have your guest that were there to visit you once a week is good. :) Things would be fine if you were to consult then that you would also want to rest. Just be happy. Be you. :)
