NO. Stop giving details that could be argued or backfire on you. Why do people think they have to come up with a scenario? Just say “No, that won’t work.” [/quote]

How is someone going to argue with you that your vacation home was winterized? Are they going to ask for the bill? [/quote]

“Oh, that’s not a problem. We don’t need much. When I was growing up, our country home was winterized, but I knew how to turn the water on for a short trip.”

“Okay, so then in April it should be good to go if I want to stay there with my friend.”

“Oh, so when will you open it back up?” [/quote]

This.

OP, just say no and don't give explanations that could backfire on you and prompt these kind of responses.

This is why we ultimately started telling kids “because I said so” even though I swore I would never do that. Trying to give explanations just pulls you into endless arguing when you are dealing with irrational people. [/quote]
