What do you say - kick them out on first instance of uncomfortness OR entertain them while pitying/cursing thier stay?
"Mann naa Mann mey tera mehmaan" ? lolsss kick them out😆
Most of Indians have this inherent sense of "Athiti Devo Bhavah" or the guest is god. It is true if the guest leaves after a couple of days but sometimes we end up with a guest who has no plans to leave until next x-mas.
I remember when growing up , we used to have guests all the time for weeks or months and it used to be ok with household help and a different lifestyle then here in the USA. Since moving here and being the first member of the family to move here 25+ years ago, we have had guests (some I can't even remember anymore) mostly new immigrants (family members and friends of friends) stay with us until they were stable enough to move out and live on their own. It is very tough on your lifestyle to look after fresh of the boat crowd as their expectations are highly different then what the reality is over here. You have to be the bad guy and hope they learn to clean up their room and bathroom/kitchen after every usage. Of course you have to be polite and entertain and take care of their needs but after a week or so they must learn the ways life for their own good.
Unless someone is using your hospitality over and over just to save hotel expenses when they are in town every now then , it is ok to help out a new immigrant until they get their bearings straight to start living on their own.
