[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you work from home? Just say, [b]“Sorry, I can’t. I’m not set up for that and I’m not comfortable hosting them here. But I’d be glad to meet up with them for dinner or provide recommendations if they need any.” [/b]Then pivot immediately to another topic. If they push for any reason, which, if they are at all polite, they won’t, then repeat, “I’m not comfortable hosting them here. They and I would be more comfortable if they stayed at a hotel or an Airbnb.”[/quote] Absolutely don't do this! If you say you're not comfortable with it then it just gives the relative asking (a) space to push and ask what would make you more comfortable and (b) a way to then make fun of you to everyone else by saying you're a delicate flower. If all you say is NO then that's all you've said and they can tell people you said no but that's it. [/quote]
