To ask if you have ever banned someone from your house?

[JoeyBartonHanson]

When I was a child , my mum banned my friend from the house after he scribbled on their bed.

The kid that tried to burn my house down (little fire in my dcs room, which he blamed on my DC) I'd like to say his mum was shocked, but id be lying.

Yep. Someone for stealing from me, and a (ex) friend of DH's who was incredibely sexist and rude.

No, but I’ve thought about it with my DSD. I asked her to leave the house after she pushed me around and slammed a door so hard it broke. She was 16 and around 6inches taller than me. Has never apologised to me and conveniently blames me for everything that’s wrong in her life.

Another MIL one here. Before I moved in with DH she would come down and stay for weeks at a time all year long (he was at work most of the time) She came for a week when I was there and basically treated me like I was his mistress!! Treated my daughter like poop too. Totally took over the house as if it was hers, she literally washed one shirt four times on its own so I couldn’t use the washing machine 😂
I got banned from a friends house when I was teenager too, I’d never been there... but another friend decided to spike the punch at my birthday party and because it was my party it was me that got banned from going to hers or being her friend!

Yes my husband's hellraiser of a best friend. Used to come round and not leave for days, not take hints, eat all our food, lay on our sofa rolling spliffs etc.
We moved and I refused to tell him where to. I told my husband if he invited him round I was leaving (I was pregnant by then). We lived there 14 years and have since moved again without him darkening our door. Husband still sees him but not at our house!

Everybody. I'm the only person that goes in my house

Eldest teenage niece (15) - caught her being cruel and nipping 3 yo DS (he was non verbal at the time) and 4 yo DD piped up that she'd told them not to tell or she'd smother them in their beds.

And her batshit mother who tried to gloss over it and excuse it.

BIL is still welcome, just on his own.

Oh and XH doesn't get across the doorway. Even if it's pissing down he has to wait outside.

His lovely wife on the other hand, she pops in to use the loo or have a wee chat.

Yes. A friend of my DD whose selfish behaviour caused a chain reaction leading to my DD being raped and then refusing to be a witness at the trial.

DS awful, cheeky, greedy friend and his awful mother who used to sit in our house uninvited on playdates and actively invite herself over for a cuppa. I've still never seen the inside of her house. Can smell it in their clothes though

Mil, she has been disrespectful to me far too many times now to count.
Because of this sil took a stance and now refuses to come here.
2 for the price of 1

My alcoholic brother.

Also had a friend of dd's over for tea, she's only 5 but was a pain in the arse, she's super confident at school so I should've known better.

Another MIL ban here, too. That was the last time she gave me abuse for refusing to allow her to take my small baby "for the day".

Yes. FIL. He’s just horrible and I don’t have the energy.

Only temporarily. A primary school close friend of DS1's was really mean to DS2 who has SEN. I cancelled a playdate and explained he couldn't come to tea or round to play until he'd been nice to DS2 every day for two weeks at school because I never allowed bullies in the house. It worked. He stopped bullying DS2, and his mum and I became close friends. She said she was impressed by my outspokenness!

I don't have to ban people I just never invite them in the first place

Most people probably think I'm a slattern or still live with my parents or something. Actually I'm just very private and can't be bothered with the restraining orders.

A girl from DDs class in Primary school. I actually posted about her on here at the time. They are Y9 now and whilst the issues have been forgiven DD sees them as 'acquaintances' rather than friends. I see no reason to lift the ban, and tbf the girl hasn't actually tried to come in again.

No formally expressed bans, but there are people I wouldn't let over the threshold mainly people I'm related to.

A girl I was friends with and her son. Every 5 minutes he would snitch on my children doing normal stuff like going upstairs, brushing their teeth, opening the fridge it was just so fucking annoying. And also the mum would just come and stay for a few days at a time wouldn't wash or clean up after herself and at the time I was to naive to ask her to go home

My mother in law and father in law, via solicitors letter.

One of DPs friends, he stayed with us for some days but was generally a selfish arse. Last straw was the Jackson Pollock left in the toilet bowl after one of his bathroom visits. He’s welcome to visit but not to staY at our house. I have another friend whose DH pissed our sofa bed which then had to be chucked out as it was unsalvageable. They didn’t tell us - we discovered it after they left. Again they can visit but not stay with us, they can wet their hotel bed as much as they want. Sure anyone can have a mishap but bloody well tell us! We’re all adults!

Not banned but hell would freeze over before I invited / agreed to them coming back.

1. my nephew. He is the kind of child to stamp sweets into the carpet and throw food around. When he isn't doing that his hobbies include pushing my son off the top bunk bed and breaking his leg. They were playing a card game at the time so it wasn't even like it was provoked or an accident. his mother refuses to punish anything he does and, as a result, the child is a monster and gets very jealous of other children.

1. a school friend of DD. She needs attention 24/7, grasses up other children for things they havnt done (I've watched her in action she just blatantly lies), goes through drawers and cupboards without asking, disturbs everyone else when they are happily playing and I have, more than once, found her in my bedroom snooping round, "looking for the dog". She has undiagnosed issues that her mother admitted she is aware of but does not want her child labelled so wont get help and has a reputation with all the parents as being extremely hard to handle. Also has zero manners, sneezes a lot and does not cover her mouth, spits food around and is generally just a dirty, ill-mannered child. All caused by her (teacher) mother who does nothing to stop it.

Banned one of ds’ classmates after their one and only play date.

My work colleagues keep hinting that we should meet at mine. Never going to happen.

Yes mil. She is like a fucking dementor and was controlling my house.

Fil used to hide here because he knew she wouldn’t turn up

ExH of one of my friends - he stayed friends with my DH for a bit after the split, but after one final piece of spectacularly abhorrent behaviour to my friend and their children I told my DH that friend's ExH was never to set foot in our house again. DH has respected this. Now, although they occasionally see one another in our street (we all live very close together) DH will not invite him in any more....DH says it is clear that friend's ExH is rather surprised that no more cups of coffee are offered, but doesn't push it.
