[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Family of seven here, and we'll crash just about anywhere.  Found some hotel rooms on our last road trip with three double beds and enough room for a sleeping bag and a pillow on the floor - perfect!  Heck, we'll crash in your basement if you let us!  Have sleeping bags, will travel!

You know how annoying it is. We have a tiny house and my husband's friends and their teenagers came for a week (as in one bathroom tiny).  They insisted on staying with us and they'd crash anywhere.  So, we stuck them the unfinished basement as they said they were ok with that... but they ended up being all over the house all the time and everything was a drama (i.e. breakfast where the parents said fend for themselves but the teenagers were not comfortable helping themselves so it was a morning war and I had to get up every morning and cook) and they kept my kids up to all hours with the arguing and noise.  (And, I made a huge mistake being nice about it as the following summer they sent the kids for a few weeks so they could have a break.)[/quote]

Well I didn't say we were completely clueless!  We would do this "basement bunkhouse" thing for an overnight somewhere, but I wouldn't mooch off someone for a week where the space clearly wouldn't accommodate us.  And I would have no problem if someone told us, you know, we think you'd really be more comfortable in a hotel.  Shame on you for letting them repeat the performance.[/quote]

Most people wouldn't tell you.  I never would nor would my husband.  You are clueless if you do it overnight and even call it "basement bunkhouse."  Its a lot of work for one evening to clear out that much space for 4-5 and then heavily clean since we don't use the basement and then all the other stuff, food, towels, etc.  Then the fun of cleaning it all up and the laundry afterward from all the bedding.  Its not shame on me.  I had no choice.  They invited themselves, my husband tried to talk them out of it and they didn't really give us the option.[/quote]

Houseguests are often a hassle for the host. DH's single friend was just saying how his friend asked if he could crash and then said he was bringing his wife. Now he has to get a cleaning lady to clean and then will probably crash on the couch while his friend and wife get his bed. People are rude and don't even know it. guy is not happy and thinks it is a hassle but welcomed the friend. It's one thing if it is just 1 person. don't bring the whole clan.[/quote]
