At least every other weekend, someone asks to stay with us. They usually live an hour to an hour and a half out of town, and they come to OKC and think our house is the answer to their "free place to crash" problem.
It's mostly family, and has recently become friends.
Will someone tell me a polite yet firm way to tell them NO without looking like a totally inhospitable b!tch? While I don't mind house guests once in a blue moon, my family's privacy and time together is very valuable.
Plus I'm fuucking tired of changing sheets.
Re: We're a hotel.
Can you simply say "We have too much going on that weekend to be hosts. I'm so sorry."? Or, "We might be going out of town ourselves that date; therefore, you might want to find another option."
Or you could always say you've been battling bedbugs or lice
Ha. We mooch off of our friends that live in Dallas all of the time. They simply say to us "We are so disappointed - we can't this weekend - so sorry!"
It works.
You aren't being an inhospitable b!tch. You are trying to spend time with your family. They are being rude for asking all the time. I'm with pp who said sorry we're busy and already have plans.
