[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think a reasonable compromise would be to tell your sibling:

“You paid to arrive at a clean house with clean sheets on your bed and a clean bathroom. I also paid to arrive to clean sheets on my bed and a clean bathroom. If that doesn’t happen when I arrive, you will be refunding me partially for the room if your kids are responsible for messing up my bedroom and bathroom. If they do sleep in there, they will wash the sheets. If they do use the bathroom, they will clean it. Just as you would accept a partial refund if your rooms and bathrooms were dirty on arrival, so will I.”[/quote]

Whoo, is this how people really talk to their family? I agree they shouldn’t use the room, but this script would start WWIII in my family.[/quote]

NP here. In my family, my siblings are insanely unreasonable and major takers so I would have to be very direct and specific with them using language like this otherwise they still convince themselves it’s ok. I don’t vacation with them anymore and I would never share a house with them because they’d be helping themselves to anything because “family”.  [/quote]
That sucks. My teenagers would never even dream of asking to use someone else’s room. If someone else suggested it, they’d decline for fear that they couldn’t leave it pristine. I really can’t imagine my nieces or nephews taking my room or their parents being okay with that. There are huge differences from one family to another.[/quote]
