[quote=Anonymous]I guess my situation is slightly different but my twin sister lives in Chicago and is in town one week a month visiting clients (she works in marketing for fashion so her hours are not always 9-5, depending on events and client needs). When she is in town, she absolutely stays with us. She gets to pocket the per-diem and it’s easy enough for us to pick up more at the grocery store to account for the extra person staying over. She (voluntarily) will either take us to dinner or make dinner one night as a thank you (we don’t expect it at all). It’s great for her because she can do laundry and has that feeling of home (she’s literally on the road and living out of the suitcase all the time) and we use it to our advantage - if we know she’s working at our house during the day and meeting with a client for dinner that night, we’ll make her grab our dry cleaning or be there when the cable guy comes. Her and my husband are also on good terms and she is a neat freak (we came home last month and she was organizing my closet for fun) so he puts up with it since he knows she’s a good house guest (it also cuts down on my flying to Chicago to see her, so good for our finances!)[/quote]
