[quote=Anonymous]OP, I think either you mention that you are not comfortable letting any family/friends stay at your home when you're not there, or similar to suggestions already offered from PPs, couch it so that you grant permission but express discomfort at not being there (e.g., too much burden to clean/rearrange, etc, when you're back). Of course, your family may just say, "Oh, don't worry! We'll take care of things fine." SO I suppose, you would have to just see how things go. Sort of a litmus test that one time. If you're not satisfied once you're back, you have a real chance to refuse them on future requests, based on past experience. [/quote]
