[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I dislike having people upstairs and get really uncomfortable when people ask for a tour. Thankfully it's only happened a few times.

I want to host a fall party. The last time I hosted a bigger get together was pre covid and all the kids coming were babies so easy to keep everyone in the first floor ("upstairs not really baby proof.")

What is a polite way to keep people on the main floor? They can go up if there's a huge demand for a bathroom at the same time but don't really want people in the bedrooms.[/quote]

Agree.  People have absolutely no business in your private living spaces.  I have seen rude people ask for a tour, I have seen rude people make excuses to use the master bathroom, and I have even seen rude people ask to see someone's closet.  None of these people were particularly close to the host, they were just rude. Just be aware that those people do exist. Maybe place a baby gate with a small sign - "please stay downstairs"? Not sure how to handle these types, when you were raised differently! [/quote]
