Dear Amy: Are we wrong to ask them not to have guests stay in our place?
Dear Amy: We are having an issue with our daughter and son-in-law regarding the use of a guesthouse. They live a day’s drive from us, so when we visit we like to stay for several days. We try to visit at least monthly.We helped in the purchase of their home in order to have this unit be our separate space.
We don’t feel comfortable sharing our private space. We have talked with them several times about our feelings, but the issue keeps recurring.Dear Disappointed: You helped substantially with the purchase of this home, but you don’t seem to actually own this separate unit, and so this whole arrangement is riding on an understanding.
If both parties agree that this is “your” unit, you could install a lock with a changeable code; if they would like to borrow the unit for guests, they would have to contact you for the code. This would at least put you in charge of access to the unit.Ever since we started dating, she seems to go out of her way to tell me whenever a guy hits on her, compliments her, or flirts with her.
I suspect that your girlfriend is immature and that this gamesmanship is how she has gained social currency in the past.
