NO WAY, NO HOW....
I don't function on no sleep.
I am not getting any younger.
And, the very thought of asking somebody to get up in the middle of the night to welcome me, is beyond astounding.
'HOW RUDE' does not even come close.
There are just no words...
And, that doesn't even address the issues such as hyper barking dogs, young kids, neighbors, etc.
There are 'TAKERS' in this world.
And, there are 'DOORMATS'.
Just because there happen to be the former, does not make me feel obligated to be the latter.
PS: From my experience, these kind of people are only concerned with their own convenience and entitlement.
I can see the guests arriving in the middle of the night...
Myself being miserable and dysfunctional on no sleep....
Then after all of that, all plans have to be ditched anyhow, because no way they are getting up a 9:00 am, and they sleep till 1:00 or 2:00 in the afternoon. People like this just seem to have no concept, whatsoever, of how their whims can negatively impact others. And, sometimes it seeams that they just don't care, either.
Remember just how the previous plans for their arrival went...
Nothing like was planned.
Ended up a arriving at midnight.
When people show you who they are.. Believe them.
