Take a note from Dueller from his similar thread back in the day.

We live in the Mountains an hour/half from the City. In an area a lot of people come to recreate. I call our house the "Free Resort". They love to come spend the weekend.......Continual company.
To the point our friends from Australia have recommended us to their wife's sister/family that have been here twice. Friends from Belgium come every few years. 5 weeks last time that included a 3 week trip thru the West in our Camry to the tune of 4,500 miles. His grown kids come here with their kids. Friends from England came because he likes my wife's fried chicken. The best one is: A friend from Canada goes thru a bitter divorce. Ex-Wife comes to see us for 4 or 5 days. She had fresh slash marks from where she tried to do herself in. Doesn't even hide those in front of dinner guests she doesn't know. Spends most of her time eating and sleeping - she's huge. THEN, she takes my laptop and changes the settings so it boots directly to Yahoo signing into her email and messenger......When she left, I deleted some of email address book. They were those of mutual friends that didn't want anything to do with her.... The trade off is that my Belgium friend loaned my his MR2 for a month last summer. I put 2,600 miles on it.....We stayed with his daughter/husband 3 nights. I had his son's BMW R1000 for a day to ride to Spa.....It all works out......

Hah these are good stories. I have no over welcome guest stories but my father once told me a story where and old neighbour of his had a friend that often showed up around dinner time and would invite them selves for dinner. Well after this happened a couple times they got sick of it, so the last time they immediately cleared the dishes off the table, set the plates on the floor for the dog to lick clean, then put these plates directly back into the cupboard. The couple never came over for dinner again

The few times this has happened I have just said, "Okay it's time for me to go to bed, now you are welcome to join me or go to your own"
I am so glad my wife has a sense of humor

The last, and only time that happened, it turned into a 3way. Is she hot?

I actually helped a buddy pack his bags and walked him to his car. He followed me back into the house! So I asked him, 'Did you forget something?'
The only way I could be freed from his company was to suggest we take separate cars to breakfast, after which I did not go immediately home. |

Problem I had last week and the 2nd time in a year:
Traveling with a retired guy. One snowmobile trip and one MC trip. They say, "Why don't I come and spend the night and we get an early start". " I say, I have a lot to do that day, come about dinnertime".......One shows at 10:30 am and the one last week shows at 1 PM when I'm not even home........I thought my HINT was "I have a lot to do that day?"

In the past two weeks, for example, we've had my father-in-law (he likes to "vacation" at our house, i.e., get away from his wife), my daughter w/ boyfriend on spring break and a cousin and her husband for Persian New Year. All with overlap. Most so far we had was eight at once sleeping over for a wedding. And we thought we'd have "empty nest" syndrome once the daughter left. I wish!

My wife and I are very private as far as having houseguests in the house (it's just not big enough for entertaining). We do, however, have a big campout around the long 4th of July weekend where 2-3 other couple with thier kids bring thier campers and we all camp in our big back yard where we down some beers and burn some steaks over the open campfire, and shoot off fireworks. Lots of fun, but other than showers and bathroom breaks, the house is off limits.

We just finished Spring Break with my young son and his three best HS buddies, all who stayed here for over a week. I would personally like to thank the inventor of the basement, without whom I would be thanking the inventor of the crawl space.

I have just 2 comments on this.
#1 - I bought my house before I met my wife... She is kinda like a house guest that won't leave and depending on the day, I am okay with that... #2 - My parents retired and moved away from the Chicago burbs where I grew up and sold there house to my sister. I love my sister, but she has 6 kids ranging from can't drive to can't walk and as a result her house always look like the aftermath of a teenage house party... So my parents have taken our spare bedroom as their "cottage of the north"... I love my parents, but they like all parents are a handful to deal with. I relive the sins of my youth (tripping over my dads shoes like he did when he was my age and I was kid) My wife and I have joked that when we start house shopping in a few years we are going to look for places that have a 2:1 ratio (garage spaces to bedrooms) 4 car garage with 12' ceilings for a few 4 post lifts and 800 sq. ft of living space would be FINE with us. |

Just burst into the room naked and yell: "Honey, get out the whipped cream!" Then stare awkwardly at the friend, and don't leave.
