[quote=Anonymous]White lies--don't do it, for many reasons. First, they sound like the kind of people without boundaries and will just come back with retorts like PPs and OP have mentioned they will ("oh, no problem about the a/c, we like heat"). Saying bed bugs--well, does OP want it spread around her family that their house is contaminated with bed bugs? I would tell them that having guests in the house while away doesn't work for you. Just be prepared (since they step over your boundaries already) that they may probe further. "Why not? We don't be a problem" or "we're family, not guests". Just keep repeating, "it doesn't work for us this time. We'll catch you on a future visit, hope you enjoy this one. See you."[/quote]
