[quote=Anonymous]Last week I had a slightly odd interaction and I can’t stop thinking about it.

I was outside in the driveway chatting with my DD’s friend’s mom, who was picking her up after they’d hung out. While we were talking, a car pulled up to the curb and a woman got out and came straight up to me. She introduced herself, and I realized she was the previous owner of our house. (It had been her parents’ home and she grew up here.)

When we bought the house, we had mentioned we planned to renovate, and she seemed to understand that at the time. Now she asked if she could see the work we’ve done.

The timing was kind of chaotic; the other mom had arrived early, her daughter was still inside gathering her things, and I was trying to be polite and juggle both conversations. I ran inside quickly to check on the girls and get things moving, and when I came back out, the woman had left. She never came back.

Our house was a mess at the time, so part of me was honestly relieved. But ever since, I keep wondering about it, where she went, if she’ll come back, and what I’d do if she does.

The more I think about it, the more I feel like I don’t actually want to invite her in if she shows up again, but I can’t quite articulate why. It just feels… off?

WWYD? Would you let a former owner come in to see the house?
