How To Be A Good House Guest or Host

How To Be A Good House Guest or Host

The house guest/host relationship can be tense at times. When have you overstayed your welcome and how do you properly accommodate guests?

Generally, common sense and politeness prevail and there are no issues; but sometimes people don’t make the right adjustments and end up making someone feel uncomfortable.

A list of Do’s and Don’ts would be ideal, but for now enjoy these two articles: one suggesting how to be a gracious host and the other detailing how to be a good house guest.

Spend some hours away from your hosts and their house each day. This will be better for both of you for it will freshen your time together. Plan sight seeing or visiting other friends ahead of time, if you can, and let your hosts know when you will be gone and will come back, and if you can, leave for them a way to contact you.

    I just put a houseguest out for NOT doing what was stated in this article. I understood that he didn’t want to overstay his welcome so he would stay gone for days at time. I didn’t have a problem with him being gone for days at a time. I had a problem with the fact that he’d never tell me when he was going to be gone or when he was coming back. He’d just disappear and then reappear whenever he felt like it, sometimes while I was at work. He had a key because I wanted him to be able to lock the deadbolt on the door. We went back and fourth about it for two months and he just didn’t understand how rude and disrespectful he was being by not communicating.

    I also could never contact him when he was gone. He had things at my place and my keys and I would simply text him and ask him when he’d be back or if things were ok and he’d never respond until I got nasty and threaten to kick him out. He thought I was overreacting because I wanted a romantic involvement with him he totally did not grasp the concept that he was being extremely disrespectful.
