Open Question: How to tell a friend no, while still keeping them as friends? |
My husband and I have friends (a married couple) whom just assumed that they could stay with us for 20 days when they come up north for his leave. He has a TON of family up here but she doesn’t like them. My hubby and I live in a SMALL 730 sq foot 2 bdrm home. They have stayed the weekend with us in the past and that was ok, but they are slobs!!!! How do we tell them no without losing them as friends. I am really not to worried about him, he’s nice and understanding, but her, she did this to another mutual friend and they no longer speak. oh yeah, they want to bring their small dachshund and I have an english bulldog, and their dog pees everywhere, and i just got new carpeting. My hubby and him are best friends by the way, but she is horrible. Oh yeah, they claim to have no money, she even called his grandma to send them $1500.00 so they could come up before he leaves for Iraq, yet they just spent $1100.00 on a corgi/beagle mix puppy because she refused to come up without a new puppy even though their dachshund is not potty trained and it is a year old!!! What do I say???btw, They just recieved his reinlistment bonus and blew it on two brand new four wheelers, a new truck which they only put 10k down on (the truck retails at 50k) a new big screen lcd tv and much more…
