Pp you replied to. We're an immigrant family who sends money overseas to relatives we've never even met, PP, because they didn't get the opportunity to leave the home country. So we don't have a second home, but we do believe in helping family. If some relatives are obnoxious or irresponsible, of course, that's another story, like I said, but if they're nice enough, why not be kind? Why do people have such a grasping, me-me-me mentality?

NP - if it was a week or two and OP knew them to be responsible, that might be one thing.  But the relative is asking to stay for three months with four kids and two dogs.  That's a lot of wear and tear, even if unintentional.  No way would I say yes to this, OP.  And I grew up in a huge family, where we all visited each other over the summer, lots of kids and dogs running around.  But we knew never to impose or overstay our welcome.[/quote]

Also wanted to add to above - [b]the fact that you said no and the relative still tried to negotiate staying there for a long period means they don't respect you and likely wouldn't respect your property. [/b] [/quote]

BINGO. [/quote]
