can you welcome people into your house anytime of the day any day?

Our place is a bit crazy sometimes most especially that we are leaving in a compound with my husband's siblings. His sister could be crazy sometimes- shouting on top of her lungs when she is mad at her kids; his brother would be commenting bad things in people who would be visiting. So I really do not let my friends come over. My husband's friends would often come and they just stay outdoors.

for me, if people dropped by unannounced, then they have to accept the mess and the simple food and drinks i'll serve, most likely, just from the neighborhood store or bakery. if they criticize anything, i'd be upset. if they notice something nice that they like or even offer practical suggestions to improve something, i'd welcome them. because that's how i am. i will see you because i want to spend time with you, not to compare notes. and i don't expect royal treatment, even if i told you ahead of time that i'm dropping by. in fact, i might even bring something for us to partake in. :)

I don't think i can either.. Since we sleep at noon all the time, and the time is not constant.. Also, the house can be a little messy. And we don't have a lot of snacks all the time.

Sadly, I am exactly at the same situation. Like you said, the house is not presentable so I would really want to be notified first. The problem is I already stopped cleaning the house regularly. I got tired of it after months of doing it. The reason is whenever I left the home in the morning, when I return home in the evening, the house is in total mess. I just don't understand how can others just leave the sofa cover almost falling on the floor after sitting in there. Cups are all over the table and the bathroom is so messy. They use our bathroom everyday and won't even care to clean it. I just recently did a major cleaning in there brushing and bleaching the bathroom tiles and toilet bowl, removing all those empty shampoo and body wash bottles they just left in there, and this huge drum which made me hard to use the shower for the last couple of weeks as it was placed under the shower itself. Definitely, if someone would just knock on our door during weekdays, he will find the house in mess and I would be really embarrassed especially if he will need to use the bathroom.

Yes of course. I believe that we each have our own way of dealing with our house. If it is clean, I do not mind if it is messy. Especially with people who have kids, you cannot expect their houses to be tidy all the time. However, you should not feel bad, just try to organise your house so that you will no longer feel embarrassed.

I cannot always welcome people in my home unless its an emergency.I want to be notified a day before the visits and even a hour. My home not really feel comfortable when visitors around.She want to make things in proper prior for visit.

I cant my things are all over the place and that is how I like it lol . I know exactly where to find them . I dont appreciate strangers dropping by but close family can since they already know me . Our living room and the bathroom is the only part that is tidy . The day I have a house that is always clean is the day I have money so I can hire a maid .At my mother house she is always cleaning and like everything in place but even then my room was always messy .

My house is always ready for a visitor. However just because its ready does not mean that I will always open my door. There are times of day that we do not answer the door. Dinner time is the most important time for my family and we will not answer the door while we are having dinner. Other wise we are always ready to accept a visitor. My grandmother used to say if the bathroom was clean that nothing else mattered boy was she wrong. I do not feel right unless I know that my house is tidy. Makes me crazy when there are things every where I will spend hours getting it all tidy just to do it all over again the next day but its so worth it when my family wakes up and the house is all tidy. I do not keep a tidy house for visitors though I do it cause it makes me happy.

In my home my FIL always ready to Welcome to anybody at any time not only for our relatives but for other persons relatives also. Last week some relatives of my elder FIL's son's daughter has came for seeing their girl for marriage and the guest are stay in our home. Because on second floor two rooms are empty so guest are rest there. But me and my husband not like this.

I can welcome them in my house which is the downstairs part (living room and open kitchen). No matter if I just whiped the floor or not. It looks clean enough and if not I would not feel ashamed about that either. Upstairs I could do so too but I won't. Upstairs (bathroom, bedrooms) is private and visitors don't need to be there. But fact is I would not easily invite people at my home or let them in unexpected. My house is for me and my kids a private place where we can be in hormony, relax, have time for eachother and time for ourselves. I don't see the need to let everybody pop in and out just because they are bored and have nothing to do (I had that situation years ago for years).

Actually my house(I mean my dorm)is always not ready to receive visitors,I seldom do housework and cleaning,so if some people come to my dorm suddenly I will feel a little unhappy.Usually people want to come to my dorm they should let me know first,then I will arrange my time and my dorm and welcome them.

I think every ordinary household are not readily available for visitors because first we don't have maid that will maintain the cleanliness and orderliness of the house. Those houses that are always presentable have their own house cleaner that will make their house clean and beautiful. So for me just like you I d like to be inform first if someone will come and visit me because not even clean my house but also to prepare food for my visitor.

for me it's a big NO. they are welcome as long as I know that they are coming and I allowed them to go to our house. But sometimes when they inform me that they would come and I am not ready for it, then with no hesitations, I will say No.

I seldom have visitors at home. And I don't want people to come into our house without informing me that they would come. But of course, if they were already at the front of our gate, I have no choice but to let them come inside the house and entertain them. But of course, I like more if people will inform me first before visiting me in our house. So that I could prepare some food and clean our house a little bit.

Hi there. NO. As a matter of fact, I hate surprise visitors. It is not because of the house not looking presentable but I do not like it when my privacy and quiet time are invaded. I am a very private person and my family and friends know that. They give me prior notice before coming to my place.

I don't think i can either. i am quite lazy, i rarely sweep the entire house.. And we don't have that many food available all the time. I can't even cook. So any visitor should call me first before they come.

Here in this foreign land, I am ready to accept visitors any time. I've made my place clean from the time i got it and i've made t presentable. I like living in a clean place. Can't stand dust because I'm allergic to it. This reminds me i need to mop my floor today again.

It would depend on the situation, because sometimes I prefer not to have any visitors whether my house is clean or not. Also, if I'm asleep I don't want to be bothered with company. I just feel it's respectful to have people call me to see if it's o.k. to stop by.

I don't think I can either. And I hate people dropping by unannouced. There are days that I just want to laze around and chill in our house and do nothing but read books and eat junk food, I will be in no mood to really cook some decent meals and get up and dress up. Besides, having visitors over, I think, warrants more than just a clean house. I also have to be in the right mood to entertain and I cannot be like that any time.

My house is welcome to people any time of the day or night, any day of the month, so long as I am home. My room is never perfectly clean like people expect their home should be when having company, but my friends and family care more about seeing me, not how clean and spotless my house is. I try to make sure my house stays cleaned and picked up, but I don't typically go all out unless there's going to be a fancy party or celebration or there's going to be people I'm not that close with, or there's important people coming over. Other than that, my home is homey, and you're always welcome.
