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.

Yup. I stopped answering the door to a friend I realised did not respect the time I had without my dd. She still would come and knock with her children. So one day , I thought fuck it.
If I wasn't being used, she would accept me not answering, if I was being used she would get funny. I then didn't answer the door, And guess what happened...

DD's bf - turned up drunk, swore and staggered round the room crashing into furniture. Out the door he went !

Yes. My MIL for 6 months for being disrespectful to me.

One of my eldests so called best mates when she was at secondary school. She would spend every bloody weekend sleeping here and eating everything and asking for takeaways etc. She would tell us we were poor etc. Bullied daughter into submission so badly she had her apologising for things she had never even done.. I finally had enough and banned her.. They met up at a mutual mates christening recently and this is six years later with daughter much stronger.. The CF says laughing I'd imagine my ban is up now... My daughter replied god no the bans remains and my mother still hates you, but good catch up, hope you're well... I laughed a gged so hard at that..

My in-laws because they are twats, moved house three years ago and they've never been allowed here. Put up with them because I love my partner but it just became obvious that his (MILs second husband) daughters in law were treated very well, meals out, nice birthday presents by them both, but I was totally ignored. MIL went along with it because she's a doormat. Its been bliss not having to see them and listen to his boring conversations, honestly he could talk a glass eye to sleep.

My mil about 15 years ago.
She was being a judgemental snotty cow.
I stood up and just shouted " get out of my house now, you are not welcome "
To which she replied " well my son owns half of it"
To which I replied " well today he owns the upstairs. So fuck off" 😀

Ahhh fun times 😀

MIL was invited to visit and was (in DH's clearly expressed view) a poisonous bitch looking to cause a fight. He told her this and she demanded to leave that instant. DH was delighted.

A couple of years later, they had made up enough for us to go to her for Christmas. She spent Christmas being - guess what - a poisonous bitch, and one who hadn't provided any food for me (I'm vegan) despite having volunteered to, to boot (thankfully we got there early enough for me to self-cater, thank you very much).

3 years on and I think it's safe to say we are banned from each other's houses although apparently her latest gambit is to say we are dreadfully cruel for keeping her grandchildren from her (she's not seen them in 2 years) and that it's tantamount to elder abuse. DH has offered to meet her at a neutral location but this has been rejected as unaceptable.

can't say I care very much!!

I've banned DHs hobby acquaintance because he's racist, misogynistic and bigoted in every way you can imagine and very vocal about it. Thinks he's hard done by because he's a white man

I banned DS1’s friend when they were about 10 or 11 yrs old. For pushing my 5 yr old DS2 around violently on the trampoline, locking him in the shed, and teaching him swear words for fun.

I will not ban my PILs but after the Easter Day timing stunt, they will no longer be invited for meals. It makes me sad but their behaviour was very poor

Two of DS’s primary school friends. One of DDs primary school friends and a secondary school friend.

TBF they all really crossed the line and the bans were originally only supposed to be short term, but both DCs were actually grateful to me and told me they didn’t want them back. The secondary school friend is just allowed back now after two years and a complete change of behaviour.

One of the boys actually brought me to tears as he was so dreadful and I never cry!

Yeah. Ex friend (male) who had become a little obsessed and wouldn't take no for an answer.

I’ve banned my sisters fiancé, because he’s just so god damn rude and irritating.

My MIL 😌

Yes. My home is my sanctuary and I will not have people here that I don't like. I live with my fiancé and his brother, and both respect my opinion as I'm almost always right about people.

The first person I banned raped my friend whilst we were at school (was friends with DP but no one knew it was him for years). The second was a sexist, racist bigot. The third was just an arsehole with no respect for my privacy or my neighbours right to sleep..

A former friend's eldest daughter.

For theft. First occasion, she was about 13/14 and I noticed a bottle of perfume missing within an hour of their leaving. It had been in the downstairs loo. She was banned for a year for that.

The next time she was here after that she was 17 or so. It was also the last time she was here. She stole a bracelet that had only just been given to me by an older family member and I'd been showing my husband when they arrived.

Yep, one of DH’s best friends 1 slapped his girlfriend at our house.

Did as PP said, told DH it was totally up to him if he wanted to continue the friendship but I didn’t want that abusive twat near me, my kids or my house. Thankfully 15 years later they only see each other once a year or so. Very happy with my decision.

There are also a few kids over the years that haven’t been invited back after them behaving in a way I didn’t find acceptable, similar thing really!

I banned a colleague after she stole money that belonged to my newborn baby, I know it was her because I had left her in the house with my baby while I popped to the chemist 3 doors away, I was gone less than 5 minutes. She made an excuse and left shortly after I got back and I discovered that the money was missing shortly after that. I phoned the police but they really weren't interested and said that there was insufficient evidence, not long after that money started going missing from work and she then disappeared with a man who wasn't her husband.

Not seen her in more than 20 years

My brothers grotty girlfriend. She made some comments about how shitty I am for not turfing my elderly dogs off the sofa for her to sit down. I didn't invite her in in the first place so meh.

My disgusting SIL who, despite me having had cancer treatment last year, us both having lost parents to cancer, and me explicitly telling her not to, insisted on smoking at the back of my house when visiting her Mum babysitting my three year old when I'm at work. I could have punched them both.

Yep. One of the dc's friends, because they deliberately hurt one of our animals. There is another school who isn't banned, but I will never invite over again because she was so rude the last time I had her.

School = school friend.

My siblings. My eldest brother ended up with a court order against him coming within a set distance of my home (his teenage son lives here).

My other 2 siblings because the only time they came was to try and bully me into seeing eldest's 'side' of things.

Plus a school classmate of my DD's. She had cataplexy while they were in the school library and instead of helping her (she hit her head quite hard and was bleeding) the classmate snapchatted it. Their apology (forced by the school and parents) was very much a "I'm sorry if you were upset" and I don't trust they wouldn't do it again.

MIL for thinking having a screaming row in my house shortly after I'd given birth was something I'd be okay with. She had been there a week and I'd let the comments about my weight / accent / social class / diet / religion slide however instigating and joyfully partaking in a full on screaming match amongst her own family in my hallway infront of the baby got her a permanent ban. I told her she was banned and why. Months later, in a bizarre phone call, she banned me from coming to hers that Christmas. I'd never been to hers over Christmas and wouldn't have gone before the screaming match let alone after it
