I recently had friends from Ohio stay for a week. Neither the mom or her kids would pick up after themselves. Should my hubby say something to his friend about his wife & kids or just let it go. He was already pissed because they were slobs.

Oh that is frustrating if I was in your position I will not have "friends" ever come stay at my house. They are 2 adults and a child the adults have to clean up for themselves and their child. I don't understand why there are people like these. I will tell my hubby to let his friend know about this siutation. If they were not embarassed nor had no consideration for both of you then why should you and your hubbt feel bad for telling them?

Just never have them stay there again. Or if you really want to say something, then try to politely let them know that you would have appreciated them picking up after themselves.

I've been there. It's over and done with but next time they ask to stay, have something else going on where they will have to stay somewhere else.

They probably saw it as a vacation and as if they were staying at a hotel, where they make your beds and clean up for you. It's a hard situation. On the one hand you don't want to offend, but you're not their maid. When we have guests staying at home for a prolonged period, we announce: Okay...first day breakfast is served. Second day, you're on your own. The towels are here--the sheets are here. This lets them know, we're not a hotel!

There's no sense creating bad blood. Your husband and you will think twice about inviting them again. Thanks for asking your Q! I enjoyed answering it! VTY, Ron Berue Yes, that is my real last name!

I personally just deal with my sloppy friends and family. I get frustrated by it, but I just clean up after them, only because I am so happy they were there. I usually do not really clean until the end, I can just let their mess pile up. Was the visit otherwise a good one? If so, I would just let it go and not mention it. If it bothers you too badly, I would not invite them again.

I wouldn't say anything, you survived and can go on. Next time, say no, period. You don't have to explain why. I would go off if I even started on the subject with them. I wouldn't make anything up for a reason either. They are the one's who should feel uncomfortable about the issue, not you guys.
-
Yes your husband has every right to say something and I don't see why he would have to be 'polite'. Tell them they wont be allowed to stay again because they don't know how to pick up after themselves and be done with them.

dont bother saying anythihg, that makes you look like the picky bunch, but just dont bother having them to stay again either ! who needs that type of friendship?
-
I think maybe you should have got hold of all the stuff they left lying around and put it in the rubbish bin. If they asked where it was, point them to the bin and say it was lying around so you thought it was junk.

This is an amazing lack of respect for you and lack of consideration. Of course, never, never invite them back. Do not allow them to invite themselves--they sound like the type that would invite themselves. - What is this bulls--t about "not having papers" so no kennel. That is impossible. What if the dog were a mutt? It would have no papers, Did you friends say that a dog without papers can't stay in a kennel? They're not only inconsiderate -- they're liars. - What about hubby>? What was his reaction to his friends while they were there and after they left?
