So of course I live 8 hours away from my family and Billy's family. So of course when they come to visit they always stay with us. So what do you do when both families want to come at the same time. Now do not get me wrong I have enough room that is not the problem, the problem is my sanity. First of all my Dad and I do not always get along and I do not want Billys family to witness the spectacle (trust me I try and I try and I try but sometimes I can not hold it in any longer and when he is being a poopy butt I have to tell him).
The other problem is I am the one they always ask questions for example, Bernadette what do you want for dinner? Bernadette where are the spoons? Bernadette you should move your sofa to the other room. Bernadette why don't you and Billy have 4 kids? AHHHHHHHHH
Not to mention someone always compromises my recycling bin (you can not put half full yogurt containers or half full soda bottles in my bin), please quit slamming the door, please do not let the water run (this is the biggest problem), please do not let your dog bark all day long and pee on my floor, please do not bring a bunch of crap from Paducah that you think I want in my house to put on display ( I do not want this shit because I do not have the room and it is ugly).
So now that I have gone on and on can I ask them to all stay in a hotel? I am sure I can ask my parents they do not care and I actually do not care if it does bother them. However, what about Billy's parents can I ask them to stay in a hotel?

Bern, don't you basically live in a mansion? I say you let the relatives stay, but give everyone handouts of do's and don'ts in the Haskins household.
For instance:
"Don't talk to bern until she's had 1 pot of coffee"
or "Do clean up after yourselves (this is not a hotel)"
i love that idea that is awesome...
and no i do not live in a mansion i live in a 130 year old farm house with pigs and goats.
I like the do and don't list when your guests check-in. Good call Molly.
"Where are the spoons?" Cheese and rice Bern! These people don't live there, give them a break.
Your solution is build 2 wings, the Stovesand wing and the Haskins wing. This way they can put the spoons where ever they want.
Or just label every drawer and cabinet and have a running audio instructions throughout the house: "Please rinse out all containers before throwing in recycle. No thank you, I do not need a deer head planter, turn off the water, close refrigerator drawer, turn off the water."
Billy,
I have my Kohnen family picture displayed in my house like all good Kohnens, but I noticed there is no picture of you. Why is that?
I was just discussing your post with someone and they said " do you think that they don't know how recycling works because they're from the south"?
I get overlooked and mistreated by the kohnens and Stovesands.
They never invite me to their picture taking parties.
