Houseguest vent
Okay, I have mentioned this before... I don't like houseguests. I really don't know why we even have a guest room! I honestly can't wait for us to have kids in order to fill up the spare bedrooms, now allowing space for houseguests! GGRRR Yes, this is how badly I feel about the whole idea. I don't like people invading my space.
A couple of wks ago, we were informed of a bday party for this Friday night. Great. Dh's friend (and wife) from OOT was invited too, and RSVPed yes (evite). When I saw this, I cringed, but accepted it. I told DH to contact them, and see if they are really coming down. Dh and his friend were playing phonetag.
They finally spoke today. Friend asks Dh what are plans are for this weekend... and OMG can I say we have every minute planned! So he mentions they are thinking of coming down TOMORROW. And when Dh mentions our plans for Saturday night, friend invites himself too!
I'm sorry, but how inconsiderate to 1) not give us warning you are coming (my night is planned, and I don't have time now to pickup the guest room and clean the house) and 2) invite yourself to somewhere you weren't invited too?!
I just really hope they don't bring their kids along (twins age 5 and a 2 yr old toddler). Where would I put them? Who will take care of them? NOT ME!

How cow! You are a busy woman this week!
Is there a way to maybe hint that they should stay with someone else since you guys are basically not going to be home? Are there other friends they can stay with? I know this is really touchy when it comes to friends and family.
Yes, they are our only houseguests! Last time I got lucky. They couldn't find a babysitter, so she couldn't come. He only came for the day, so never stayed the night.
Yes, it is the same guy that walked around my house in underwear!
Yes, it is the same couple that left condoms all around my house for anyone to find (as a joke, but I didn't find them for like 4 mo later!).
::breathing::
The only other friends they have down here are the bday girl of the party tomorrow. Last time, we attempted for them to stay over there, but weren't too successful. I haven't spoken to them about the situation, but I'm pretty sure she feels the same as I do.

This is why I don't want them at my house. The guest room also serves as an office... with all our IMPORTANT and private information. I'm going to just move it tonight into the gym room, where no one enters. ::sigh::

Okay, I didn't know about all this. Forget the niceness, I say, you call and tell them they can't come! They are horrible house guests! Oh my goodness! How are you still talking to these people if they are leaving condoms all over your house, what the heck do they think your house is, a brothel? Do they do that around their kids? I can just picture the kids ripping open the condoms and chewing on them or something.
Seriously, tell your husband that it's just not doable, you have too much stuff going on. Here's a shocker, tell them to stay at a hotel! Gasp!
Man I can not believe they left condoms all over your house. That is so not funny. I would have been pissed, and why does he think it is cool to walk around you home in underwear. They are def. the house guest from hell.
I am with Mrs. Rod tell them you are tenting your house so they will not come. LOL

omg, I totally agree with you. I HATE HOUSE GUESTS. If someone wants to see me that badly, they can stay in a hotel. There are VERY few people who I would allow to stay with me and they are either related to me personally by blood or so close to me that they might as well be. My husband thinks I am a total b*tch because I hate houseguests and he loves having people around but I love my privacy and can't stand "invaders". My couch is not a pull out couch for a reason.
Anyway good luck... I hope they don't end up being too much trouble and hope they leave their rugrats at home!!!

Thanks Karen... I'm not the only "loca" (crazy) around. LOL
I just found out they may come for 2 nights. I expressed to DH my "concerns" of them staying over, and he sorta agreed, but told me I had to "suck it up b/c he is his friend." I understand, and now I feel bad... but it is my house, and I don't particularly like his wife... I hate small talk... for 2.5 days!

Girl, I don't talk to them! DH is the one that talks to the guy. They have known each other since HS. He lives in Cocoa Beach, and they don't visit often. I told Dh last night and this AM about my concerns... at least he's aware.
Honestly, (this is going to sound horrible) I hope they do something extreme as to give us a right not to invite us back in! LOL
