[quote=Anonymous]My mom lives across the country, and she comes to visit us in the summer. It's cramped if she stays with us, so last summer my friend, who has a big beautiful house, said she could stay hers while she (my friend) at her second home. This was so nice of my friend, because it allows us to have space, and saves my mom money because she doesn't have to stay at an airbnb. last year it worked out well, so she's staying there again this summer.

My mom mentioned that her sister was going to drive down and come stay with her at the house for a few days. My first initial reaction was weird to have visitors when you're staying at someone's house, but then she assured me that she had asked my friend and friend had ok'd it. I said ok, I guess, but she cannot bring her dog or cat, so please tell her to leave the pets at home.

Today my mom mentions that she had talked to my friend earlier in the day to ask if my aunt can bring her dog. I was mortified. First, it's so inappropriate to ask to bring a pet when you're staying at someone's house, and secondly, she went behind me back to ask when I already told her it's out of the question. Then she gets defensive, saying it doesn't involve me, and that my friend had said of course it's ok (my friend has a dog that is currently with her at the second home and is fine with dogs) But even though my friend said it was fine, it embarrassed me and it seems like they are freeloading and taking advantage. It's my friendship, so therefore it does involve me.

Am I overreacting? I am so angry with her and don't even know how to handle. [/quote]
