Messy guests???????????????

Question

Okay, I will admit it, I'm a neat freak. I like everything clean and organized. When things are out of place, it drives me NUTS.

We had our friends over tonight. Someone I went to school with all through highschool and college, her husband, and her 3 kids (2 boys 12 and 8, and a 5 year old girl). I've been to her house (just drop in and invitation visits) and always very neat and in place. We even have had lots of conversations how we like everything nice and neat. The thing is, they came over here for dinner, and when they left the place was a mess. Even my kids thought it was dirty, AND my husband, which means it was bad. Not just dirt from shoes in the house, I mean pee and p**p all over the toilet in the bathroom, crumbs on the floor, toys thrown all over the place, pillows that are supose to be on the couch in an entire different room, etc. Just really pig like behavior. My friend is always stressed, and I think this is why. I'm not sure how to stop this behavior for next time. Do I say something to her before they come over? Do I tell the kids while they are making a mess to fix it? Ideas would be great!

Answer 1

Would hang a sign big enough so it would be seen and this is what it would say :

If you make a mess---clean it up! This only if you are shying away from facing them yourself!  Otherwise call her on the phone and say "

Look I am not trying to hurt your feelings, and I know kids can be messy, but when your here at my house the next time would you mind checking on your children a little more seems they really made quite a few messes here! I don't want you to feel your not welcome because you are and we have been friends along time and if I was at your house and  this was to happened, I would want to know!

If this doesn't work, maybe your better off if when she is with her kids she doesn't visit! Maybe just the two girls(you and her) doing something like lunch!  Sure hope this helps and good luck with this situation!  Cheers!

Answer 2

you know what, i dont like fake people and you cant let them make mess in your house then talk about it after its all said and done!

while they were pooping and partyin all over the place you should have told them so they could clean it themselves, in my house the only ones allowed to make mess is the people who will clean it up, just a tip!!!

Answer 3

Next time they are there just keep cleaning up behind them, hopefully their parents will see and feel obligated to either tell their kids to straighten up or to do it themselves.  If that doesn't work keep the kids outside next time.  LOL
