How to Handle House Guests that Stay too long

    17 ratings       Rate this article:  1  2  3  4  5 

Having guests overstay their welcome is very frustrating.  Here are a few tips to prevent (as well as handle) these unwanted guests!

  • Set boundaries. When you are setting up the stay, make sure that dates are firm in stone. Let them know specific times and days they are welcome so they are less likely to overextend their welcome.
  • Appreciate what guests do for you. If they help with housework - such as taking out trash, cleaning up after dinner, or walking the dog - let them know that you are grateful for their actions.
  • Hold your ground. Say "It has been great, but it looks like our time together is already up!" when you are ready for them to leave.
  • Expect them to be unhappy. You must create clear boundaries and stick to them - this could be threatening to them. Just let them have their feelings - you should do what you feel is good for you and your family.
  • Make sure that you clear the visit with all members of your household. If your mother is coming to visit, and she drives your husband crazy, opt for a shorter trip, and let her know up front that she can stay for a weekend. Not a week.
