So we have just said goodbye to the house guests from hell... our friend and his wife and child. I honestly feel like we’ve been used, abused and insulted over the past few days in so many ways, not so much by our friend, but by his wife (and to a degree, their child). I won’t go into detail for fear of outing myself, but imagine being treated like a servant/taxi service, your home insulted, your privacy invaded, and your house treated like a hotel, and you’d be on the right lines... Anyway, I just received a message from wife saying “Argh, left [child’s name] clock behind 😬” Now I know I’m being petty here, but I know she’s looking for me to post this at my expense and I really don’t want to. I’ve already got to replace a whole load of damaged items of my children’s thanks to their visit. Does anyone have any thoughts on how I can get her to pay for it without sounding really bad?! I really value our friend and don’t want to upset him. He’s aware of his wife’s behaviour towards others, and often apologies on her behalf out of embarrassment.
