To hate having overnight guests?

[Mrsbagface]

Don't usually do it but have had to this week for a couple of nights. I HATE IT! Yet my friends and family seem to love it. Can't stand having to see other people in their morning state and make polite conversation and just feels like my space has been invaded .... I know I am an anti social cow. But does anyone else hate having overnight guests? Guests who come over for a few hours, fine. But not overnight!!

Ooh, it's like the old Introverts thread round here. I have found my tribe. Hello, fellow anti-socials.

YANBU, I'm the same and I've been led to believe by family and friends that it's weird to hate overnight guests. My uncle has just visited and we don't have enough room so luckily my grandad put him up. Which is fortunate as DD was poorly and had shitty sleep while they were here.

I also loathe staying at other peoples houses, I like my own space, my own things and don't like having to feel like I need to ask permission for everything. Also I feel obliged to stay up at other peoples houses and watch shite tv with them it's only something we do of we really really cannot stay in a hotel and the trip is important.
Even when we book a hotel though whoever we're visiting does the whole insistent "stay with us not in a hotel, save your money fool" malarkey and it makes me uncomfortable to have to say "no thanks we don't like interacting with humans"

The older I get the more I can't bear it. I want to take my bra off and sit in PJ's in the evening.

YANBU I hate it too, my idea of hell would be running a B&B and I wouldn't even stay in one, always go to a hotel.
Have put up with numerous house guests in the past, particularly when living in in a tourist location. People can be unbelievable freeloaders.

I hate it too. I do put up with the occasional sleepover for the sake of my children, but fortunately they don't seem to want to do those anymore these days.

It is the invasion of my space that bothers me. I remember when I had agreed to my eldest daughter participating in a French exchange trip, under some duress from her school. That meant having a visitor for a fortnight and having to grin and bear it. I did get on with it, entertain and interact with them, but it was bloody hard work. Never again.

Jubelteen me too! I like being sociable but I like to do it on MY terms!

I hate that bit when you are staying in a B and B and you come down for breakfast and you see other people you don't know at breakfast time. I don't know why but I find that really revolting!

I like having people to stay, I love making a cooked breakfast but I am SOOOO happy when they leave.

It's not just me then!! You are all kindred spirits.

MN is odd. I worry that many of you may become isolated as you age - none of you seem to like visitors dropping in or staying over. I love both. I like my own space/time alone a lot but overnight visitors are relatively rare and don't interfere with this, surely?

I have always loathed staying in someone else's home. I much prefer staying locally (in a hotel) so we can meet for dinner and then have our own time to flop on the bed, drink wine, scoff nuts and fart in comfort without having to be sociable and trying to guess what a good time to go to bed would be etc. I also don't do mornings that well and prefer a solitary cuppa or 6 with no chat until my brain kicks in as you feel obliged to natter over the weetabix in someone else's home.

Plus I am ultra fussy over other people's toilets and much rather use the one in the hotel. Totally illogical but I've always been the same. I've walked out of public toilets still busting to go because of the state of them in the past!

I don't mind them sleeping... If only they'd just evaporate in the morning! My inlaws stayed this weekend, said they'd get an early start on Sunday and were still here at 12.30. I wanted to scream "Fuck off, will you, I want some space!" And I like my inlaws. It was funny because just before they left, my MIL gave me a big hug and said how welcome I always make them feel.

YANBU. I don't mind people staying if I know them very well, but preferably only for one night. It's the same for me staying with someone else. I've only had one overnight guest in the past four years.

I like having guests, but I'm always happy when they go.

I've not really thought about this before as it's not much of an issue for us we have no mates but yes I'd really hate having people stay over. It even gets my back up if one of my brothers crashes here because they're messy buggers and sleep late.

We discussed what to do with the house recently and decide the spare room can be a workroom as we don't have any need for a guest room, and we'll put a sofa bed in the playroom but perhaps we won't

As for staying over at someone else's - what about the inevitable poo the next morning?!

Lapsed the poo is the whole reason why I dislike sleeping at others and having people stay at mine. It's my poo I have the problem with not other people's, I totally understand that they might need a poo and am surprisingly ok about it, but mine? Not so much!
