- Regarding the daughter watching TV on "your" bed -- Yes it would have been better if they'd asked first. But it's weird that you are this put out. It's not even your actual bed, it's a rental house. And it's a child, who was tired or needed a break. It's weird you are begrudging her that. You weren't using it.[/quote]

It is actually my bed. I slept in that bed.

So if you are invited to someone’s house and feel tired you can sneak into host’s bedroom, make yourself comfortable on their bed and watch TV? Is this how you are raising your kids?

Most people would say, “Hey, Suzy…Little Lisa is exhausted. Is it okay if she lays down in another room and watches tv until we hit the road?”

And the appropriate response is, “Of course!”

Fun families who socialize at night have been doing this for generations.

And where is this OK? What universe? In your trailer park?[/quote][/quote]

I wish OP would lose the raised in a barn/trailer park references.  It makes it difficult to see her main point which is it is rude to help yourself to things in someone else's home (own home or rental is irrelevant) without asking.  [/quote]
