How do you ensure an awful house guest doesn't come back?

I've had my cousin staying with me about a week, there's 3 more days and I'm about ready to strangle her...She's been the guest from hell. How do I ensure she won't come back? Or respectfully let her know I don't appreciate her attitude or behavior?





PQ- How hard is it to keep your kids on a schedule while traveling or while having guests stay at your house?How do you ensure an awful house guest doesn't come back?
i've had one of those.


on her last day with us, i told her that there were a few things i didn't appreciate about her stay. she didn't take it lightly. she stormed out and never came back.


the truth hurts...but it does make our lives easier. :PHow do you ensure an awful house guest doesn't come back?
The only way to ensure that a house guest doesn't come back is to not invite her back. I think it's as simple as that.





Edit: Since she invited herself, then the next time she tries to invite herself, just tell her that you're not prepared for a houseguest right now, and it's not a good time. Or, just tell her it's not polite to invite herself, and that when you're ready for a houseguest, you'll call her and invite her.
Tell her a story about a friend who had a terrible house guest and make a joke about how rude you think it is for someone to come over and be a nuisance or something. Try making it like a friends problem, shine light on the situation and don't make it obvious it is about her.


Hope it works :)
Well treat her like any other good guest you've had before. You don't want her going back home with bad reviews about you and your family/home. Next time she asks to stay at your house, make up an excuse. You're going away for the weekend, it's too much with the kid's school etc.





PQ: I think it's pretty much impossible, but definitely hard. Just try to adjust to letting the guests do their own thing and if they seem up for it, include them in the scheduele too, ask for a helping hand or something.





Good luck :]
I would let her know that her behavior is completely disrespectful, and that if she can't show common courtesy to you and your children, in YOUR home then she's not welcome in it, and if she's not satisfied by everything you have been doing for her, that she is free to leave and find other accommodation.





Just flat out refuse to fork over any more money for her entertainment purposes, she's a grown woman and should be capable of paying for her own vacation. She should also be capable of showing basic etiquette skills.





PQ- When we have guests it's not too difficult, I let anyone who stays with us know that they will have to respect our schedule, but when we're travelling it's very disruptive and our schedule basically flys out the window!
First - Don't invite her back.





Second - Convert the ';guest room'; into an ';office'; so that you have no place for guests to stay.





Third - go have a cocktail and suck it up for three more days and never open the door again.





PQ - Schedule while traveling?? It's almost impossible.
There's no nice way to do it. My SIL was like that. I tried to be nice and avoid her next trip, told her we were busy, she came back anyway. On the second visit I finally snapped and screamed at her. She hasn't been back.....Thank God!!! But we barely speak any more. It definitely put stress throughout the whole family. But she was beyond awful! It was worth it not to have her back!
You don't invite her back.





Not too difficult when having guests stay at our house, but it is a lot more difficult when we are traveling, but we are on vacation so we aren't too worried about a schedule.
You tell her right a way when she is doing things that drive you crazy. If you don't want her back you tell her so. Pull no punches and don't beat around the bush.
Loan her money. Once you loan a family member money, you never see them again. Sometimes it's worth it.
never invite her again and if she asks if she can come tell her you will be on vacation or something
Use the power of ';no';.
