House Guest from Hell

I recently decided to let a friend of a friend stay at my apartment supposedly for one night. This woman has a little baby and was a bit down on her luck so I said OK. Two days later I realized this was a bad idea, and after four days later she was still there and I knew it was a huge mistake. She was driving me crazy. She was a complete slob and when I would get back from work, I would find her sitting on my couch talking on the phone and the apartment looking like a complete pig sty. She had people in and out of the house at all hours and was calling everyone in my caller ID.

When I would tell her about all this she would say, "My bad," then continue to do what ever she wanted. Then when I would tell het she was to leave she would start to cry and begg me to let her stay just one more night. Long story short, I asked the original friend to make sure she was not in the house when I got home or it was going to be really ugly when I packed what little things she had into a trash bag and threw them out it the street. Needless to say, my friends knowing me well, she was out.

When I was staying on my cousins house for a year, I never had guests over, didn't make messes and never gave her number out. It is one thing to help people down on their luck and another to help a loser.

Beware!

Well I think I am related to your guest! My husbands sister was in a tight spot as well and I made the mistake of opening up our home to her and her two sons. To make a long story short she too lived like a pig. And expected me to care for her children as well. NEVER AGAIN!! Before anyone stays at our home I must have a departure date. And the visit will be short!
