[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had a cousin who had just had major surgery stay last summer along with his wife, 6 year old and aunt at my home for 6 weeks.  They were visiting from Europe and would be coming to CA after the surgery.  I knew deep down that this was not a good idea but went along with the wife.  How do I make this into the condensed story?  Anyway, after about 5 days, I was wondering how I would put up for 5 more weeks?  They would leave in between for a few days but to say this was He** is an understatement.  I finally blew up and could not take anymore and told him exactly what was on my mind.  A year later, he needed to come back to the US for a 1 year follow up, and said we will be in your town but only on weekends.  I told them flat out, I'm sorry, but we just won't be able to accommodate you at at the house and referred them to some very nice hotels very close to us.  I can't beleive that anyone would even ask to stay again even just for weekends.  Did they not get it that I did not want them there?

Oh well.  The best thing I did was be blunt and tell them sorry, no accommodations this time.[/quote]

What exactly were the problems that made it "hell"?[/quote]
