Is lack of hospitality excusable? ~DesertLotus

  Author:  22721  Category:(Discussion) Created:(7/4/2017 11:21:00 AM)

Me and my mom went to visit my sister, nieces, and my sister in law. They had moved about two months ago into a new house.

The sheets on the bed smelled far from clean. Daddy long legs were sharing the room. The window stills were coated in black filth.

The bathroom we used had silver fish in the tub. Not exactly hygienic. And no bath mat, or extra toilet paper. Towels hadn't been freshened.

My sister in law's mother knows nothing about hospitality. I know from personal experience. Her attuide is if you want it cleaned, do it yourself. "I'm not your servant." And my sister is law is the same way.

But not having been taught hospitality, is not bothering to put clean sheets on the bed excuseable? To me, it's understandable, but not excuseable. We will be taking our own towels and bedding when we visit.

And my sister does quite well, so is not a financial issue. And I dont think it's intentionally done. I'm thinking my sister in law had no example, so she doesn't know about being hospitable. But she doesn't take critique well. So maybe she doesn't see the need in doing very much, when my mom and I can clean things ourselves .

Thoughts anyone?

Date: 7/5/2017 6:37:00 PM  From Authorid: 36901    I agree with Hangman. The first thing I do when expecting overnight guests is change the sheets. That's just common decency IMO.  
Date: 7/5/2017 6:41:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 22721    Yes, I guess common decency is not a flower that grows in everyone's garden.  
Date: 7/5/2017 11:11:00 PM  From Authorid: 998    I treat my guests like I would want to be treated. Clean linens and a decent guest room is the way the entire house should be. Why would they want to live in anything less ... let alone ask their guests to reside there?  
Date: 7/6/2017 6:24:00 AM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 22721    Exactly Ginger.  
Date: 7/6/2017 1:40:00 PM  From Authorid: 56297    Eeek. I would have a hard time with that. I think some people aren't bothered by bugs and unclean situations, but they should really make an effort for guests who may be bothered by such conditions. I know I am always sure to keep things clean and tidy for both myself and possible guests.  
Date: 7/6/2017 5:11:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 22721    I agree, part of being a good host or hostess is ensuring that your guests are comfortable. And to me, clean bugs and dirty sheets do not make me feel welcomed.  
Date: 7/6/2017 9:54:00 PM  From Authorid: 16131    Wow, tough question.... I think it boils down to perspective. I think it is IF you have treated the person the same way aswhat has offended you when happening to you. Biblicaly, there is no excuse for it.  
Date: 7/7/2017 7:05:00 AM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 22721    Yeah, when they have come to visit us, they get my mom's master bedroom.
and she always changes the bedding, gives them clean towels.
  
Date: 7/7/2017 7:49:00 PM  From Authorid: 42945    My goodness when you know visitors are coming to stay it's automatic to make sure everything is spot on...cleanliness should be commonsense in my book...I sure wouldn't feel comfortable staying in that kind of dirty environment and would consider it very carefully before visiting there again..family or not...  
Date: 7/8/2017 8:38:00 AM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 22721    Yeah Zema, but since my mom wants to be close to her grandkids, it's the only place she will consider staying when we go visit.  
Date: 7/12/2017 10:23:00 PM  From Authorid: 48250    I'm sorry but I couldn't stomach something like that, and when there are guests, I have always been hospitable in every way possible, besides it's a Southern "Thang" -----T/C
