[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I would never let my family stay at my home unattended[/b], so in this situation, I would just say I was uncomforatble having them stay without someone from my family being there. While some people may not feel the same, isn't that something everyone can understand?[/quote]

Not really. Why not?  [/quote]

i can understand even though pretty much every time we go away someone uses our home. There are always people we know or friends of friends who need a place to stay for any number of reasons. out house is sitting empty - why not have someone use it.

I imagine if you are an uptight stressed out Type A person who doesn't want anything out of place then not having people stay makes sense. Chances are your family and friends already know you are that way and would understand if you said no. It isn't like they think you are laid back in general then became anal all of a sudden. This is my best friend - she would never have anyone stay in her house while they were away but no one would expect too as everyone knows how she is![/quote]
