[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Karla, this isn’t a vacation home, I actually live here half the year. I don’t rent it out as my personal items are everywhere. [/quote]

That's unnecessarily rude. Plenty of people with vacation homes are happy to have their friends use them.

Fine to say, "Oh, I'm so sorry, that doesn't work for us. Hope to see you soon! Happy holidays!"[/quote]

NP here. No this isn’t rude at all. The rude person is someone asking to use your house for free when you’re not there. This isn’t the same as coming to visit you in the house while you are there. Not whatsoever.

I had a house on the water that we do not rent or lend out to anyone. A very good friend of mine told me she had told a contact of hers that she could stay there while she recovers from surgery. I don’t know this other woman at all, never met her. I told my friend I was sorry about her other friend but no, we don’t lend our house out to anyone and she would need to tell this woman it wasn’t available. Our friendship stayed intact and we are still great friends today. It was a weird thing to do but everything stayed fine.

So don’t let any concern about your friendship keep you from holding the boundary. No is no. Just say no. [/quote]
