Politely setting boundaries with houseguests

Shame the little darlings weren't using your PC, I'm sure they would have messed up your Skype settings

There is a way to appear invisible to certain people if you need to log into skype but don't want to chat to them.

The poor girl won't be on here for ages. She'll be up to her elbows in cleaning and laundry.

At Christmas? My friend just pointed out anyway, why would a parent let their child go and stay in a foreign country with a stranger at Christmas anyway...

And that was my first thought too when you first mentioned it. The majority of parents would want their child with them, unless visiting family/absent parent etc. No decent parent would send their child off to a stranger with your cousin's family.

I wonder if he really meant it as it seems from what you said that they don't have friends anyway, let alone know how to interact with them as they are stationary all the time.

Loved your midnight reply to him btw

Hi all,

Unfortunately, I've not been well and totally out of the blue ended up in hospital with a kidney stone!

I think the stress didn't help. Obviously they have been gone for some time now and I haven't heard a thing. Didn't get a thank you or anything, either verbal or in a card, no token gift, no meal out - not so much as a cup of tea. The last thing that was said before they left was, "Well we'll be seeing you again in the next few months."

Er...don't think so. Since getting back, I've discovered all sorts of food and stamped in biscuit under the girl's beds and the oldest girl had obviously took some sort of Slushie into bed as I have bright blue stains on the new bedding I had to buy which has gone through to the mattress which again was brand new. I can't get the stains out.

Please excuse me, I'm still very tired and feeling exhausted. I can't go into everything and might not feel up to replying but thanks for all the support and tough love lol. I don't intend on having them back.

Hope you're feeling better soon. x

Kidney stones are hideously painful so
