Overstayed Welcomes

How do you tell someone they've long overstayed their welcome when they have no place to go? It wouldn't be so bad if they obeyed the rules of the house, but they don't. So what do you do?

Guest Versus Moocher

So, after a year of having a friend stay with us who was down in their luck, I am beginning to wonder if opening our home up to them was such a good idea after all.

A GUEST

1. A guest will chip in toward food
2. A guest will help out either financially or with chores
3. A guest cleans up after themselves
4. A guest will keep themselves clean and respect their host
5. A guest doesn't outstay their welcome

A MOOCH

1. A mooch will take food without even asking
2. A mooch will sit and watch you work or run and the mention of it
3. A mooch leaves things laying around
4. A mooch will be a slob
5. A mooch stays long after their welcome has expired
