[quote=Anonymous]So are these houseguests people who are coming specifically to visit the posters and their families OR are they people coming to visit the DMV and want a free place to stay?

When we moved to our current house and word got out we now lived 3 blocks from a close in metro, had a guest suite, and a bigger house, the requests started to flood in, including from friends of my DH I had never met and relatives who had never had the time to visit us before then.  Pretty soon it became clear all these new visitors just wanted a free place to stay and save hundreds on hotels. A few times we’ve had huge families stay in our basement for weeks. Look, I’m giving you a nice, clean place to stay for free, nice towels, access to laundry, a big yard for your kids, private entrance, private bath, big play area, etc.  you can help yourself to any food in the fridge, and if people give me advance notice you will be home when we eat dinner I will make extra and we can all eat together.

But I cannot deal with people who just want to come to DC on a vacation to visit all the smithsonians and other free sites, park their car for free at my house, and stay for free at my house and then on top of everything expect ME for free to provide for all their meals?  All of them.  Really?  [/quote]
