[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We currently have a house guest staying with us for longer than I would prefer (2 weeks). We have a designated guest room but I use it for exercise and to store household linens, so I have to go in and out for towels and sheets, and I let them know this when they asked to stay. There is no en suite bathroom, the bedroom is next to the main guest/shared bath on our main floor.

Our guest has their stuff spread out wall to wall on the floor in the bedroom, has not utilized the luggage stand or closet. I went in to get some clean sheets and towels while they were out so as not to intrude and there are empty soda cans and takeout containers as well, which I find unsanitary. Their toiletries and accessories are all over the bathroom counter.

I'm not going to say anything, but am I out of line to be irritated by this? Do you care if a house guest keeps the space tidy during their stay?[/quote]

Of course I care and yes you would be out of line if you said something. Two weeks should pass fairly quickly. Let’s hope. My sister came for a party that was at my house and she stayed in  my son’s room. I keep a tidy and clean house and she completely wrecked his amazing room. It was embarrassing and she left the door open. Bed unmade, dirty clothes everywhere etc etc.  Rather than say anything, I sucked it up and  just closed the door to the room. I also closed other doors so she wouldn’t feel awkward. If she were living with me, I would’ve said something, but the night or two she was there, I didn’t find it “important” enough to cause an argument. I also feel that it would deter her from ever staying again. Breathe Op and weigh the cost.[/quote]
