Mehnaz has experience being a parasitic relative...She knows what worked on her...

Re: Parasitic relatives

Mehnaz... lets start again

Re: Parasitic relatives

We Pakistanis dont pick up after overselves. Back home we are rich and have servants to do such things. Why dont you hire some help around the house when we are visiting? :snooty:

I love how some guests think your home is their personal Bed and Breakfast Inn. Have him pitch in the chores and bring up paying rent.

auntie Poonam,

Re: Parasitic relatives

its not about the work

Get out and go home

Remind him of the Arab proverb (say it in Arabic, he'll think you're quoting Quran) "guests are like fish, after three days they start to smell."

Re: Parasitic relatives

I have experienced a few of these, and some whom i disliked, i told them in their face, to get lost. A few i had to bear, for the services of their parents to my family.

Re: Parasitic relatives

Guests are guests, Ms Daisy. A muslim will entertain his/her guests for whatever duration and will not show any displeasure (i am assuming here that you are muslim). The longer you let him stay around the more sawab you get. And thats no joke.

Captain Lota
