    How long can you stand house guests?

    I consider myself to be a rather welcoming person when it comes to inviting guests into my home. However, I have house guests at the moment that were meant to be here for two weeks and are now half way through their third week. I like them and they haven't done anything wrong but there comes a time when you just need your house back.

    How long can you stand having other people in your house?

              Family as long as they want to stay, everybody else about 1 week...Friends are nice, but at some point I'm more than happy when they leave, especially if they spend hours in the bath in the morning.

                  Play sick and they'll probobly leave themselves. Seriously, 3 weeks is more than enough for quests.

                      I generally don't mind guest but I started to get bothered by things like having to get properly dressed to go to the bathroom at night and stuff.

                              I've had people stay for months, I don't mind at all. I like the company.

                                          We had a Mexican exchange student a few years ago stay with us for 6 months to learn English. Considering the loss of privacy and the language barrier, that was hard. Had it been a Swedish, female university student, it probably would have been a little more tolerable.

                                          Since then, nothing more than a couple of days would be acceptable, excluding the Mother-in-law of course. She gets the overnight treatment.

                                                  People can't stand to be my houseguests.
                                                  Just kidding, I never have people over in my city-residence though.. overnight drunk mates maybe, but never 'houseguests'.

                                                  My summer cottage is a different a matter, a few weeks without any issues.
                                                  ..and I'm off.

I also hate when people just show up. Call first mother fucker !!

However, I have house guests at the moment that were meant to be here for two weeks and are now half way through their third week. I like them and they haven't done anything wrong but there comes a time when you just need your house back.

                                                                                          How long can you stand having other people in your house?
                                                                                          If they are friends - I don't mind, but if just "house guests" and you feel obliged to entertain em - that can get monotonous and time-consuming

                                                                                          In the last 12 months we must have had 4-6 months worth of guests at varying times - but most were "easy" as guests and did their own "thing". Kinda like having guests for long breakfasts in the mornings :-)

I have no problem putting them up in a nearby hotel and spending a lot of time with them while they are here but family feels more entitled to make themselves at home with out the consideration of cleaning up / etc.

She lost her job so now she's here every damn day. Drives me crazy. Still figuring out how to get rid of her.

However, he was in a really bad place in his life and I was fine with helping him get back on his feet. However, if he could have paid and didn't I would have been ticked.

Got my sister coming this weekend, but if she pisses me off I can tell her so that makes it easier.

However, I have house guests at the moment that were meant to be here for two weeks and are now half way through their third week. I like them and they haven't done anything wrong but there comes a time when you just need your house back.

                                                                                                                                                                                          How long can you stand having other people in your house?
