[quote=Anonymous]I am one who does NOT want guests "helping" in the house. Thank you, but it's not a help to me if you put the dishes back in the wrong place, don't shake out the placemats after a meal and put them back into the drawer with crumbs all over them, leave splashes of water all over the counters, the floor, and around the sink, and more. I just want you to SIT DOWN and be a guest and stop trying to intrude upon my routine. Soooo, when I go to other people's houses, I am assuming that I, too, will be messing up THEIR routine if I jump in and help. So I will offer, but no, I am not one to (as one PP said) "make myself at home" and assume that, say, I can just walk over and open the fridge and get myself a drink. . .or start searching amongst the cabinets for a plate. . .or serve my child whatever she wants, whenever she wants. No, we are guest in that person's home, so I am deferential and don't do anything that I wouldn't want done in my home.[/quote]
