[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here- no judgement towards people who have a no-shoe policy. We actually also remove our shoes in our home but when guests come over, we never ask them to. Seems forward to me? Whatever- the point is that I had zero issue with taking off my shoes. I wish I had removed that a second time to walk through the kitchen to the front door. I also wish she hadn't complained to someone else about it. Embarrassing and uncomfortable all arouond![/quote]

Troll.

No one has a shoes-off policy for themselves but not the guests. You're really going to have a playdate where your kids have no shoes and the guests have shoes? I've lived in many countries and have seen many things, but not that.

You're just creating a scenario to rile people up.

Aren’t you silly.
We don’t wear shoes inside the house but I always ask my guests to do what feels comfortable to them. Why do you think this is some big deal?[/quote]

Because I've been on this earth for many decades, known mostly shoe-less households across the world, and NONE of them have one policy for themselves and one policy for guests. It defeats the entire purpose. It suggests that being shoe-less is a something burdensome you cannot ask of a guest, which is ridiculous. Either you do or you don't but you're really sending a mixed message being wishy-washy about it.

[b]The host being gossipy does not absolve you from your own rudeness in walking in her house with shoes, BTW.[/b]

The host’s rudeness in asking the guest and her child to walk through an area where sprinklers are running actually does “absolve” them of walking through the house with shoes on. That and the gossiping make it clear that the host is actually pretty trashy.[/quote]
