PSA-don’t host guests.

My take away today is that you should just not host guests, as you will inevitably be offensive.
I have only been on this site for about a 1/2 hour today, and I have heard PSAs about inadequate nursing accommodations and not having enough variety of food to people’s liking.

My take away, just don’t invite. And if someone is so stupid and selfish that they invite you, be smart and stay home.

What other brilliant reasons to no host have you learned here?

Your hosts kids might eat with open mouths.

No ones mentioned the horrors of guest accommodation yet.

Or how to stop the hosts/guests children from being active at 8:00am, and waking the other family up.

Or that guests might use their toys.

Or the complications of providing breakfast.

Maybe we should take our own snail shell to live in, so no one has to worry.

Thanks for the laugh OP.

I felt the same after reading all those PSAs.

Luckily, the people I invite are always happy to come regardless of variety or lack thereof.

Yep, that's exactly what I concluded. Thanks, all you PSA imas, you're going to save me so much money and aggravation!

Thank you for adding it.
Very important PSA the other person wrote. It would have been a shanda had I missed it, possibly impacting shudduchim for generations.

I am nursing my child in a dark room now and am traumatized.
Unfortunately it’s my own house, so there is noone to blame!

Op, you beat me to it.
Don’t host guest.
Don’t buy gifts.
Don’t send meals.
If you want company, adopt a dog!

Yes! I never open these threads anymore when I see such a title.

We should all be robots, stay home, have our kids behave perfect and life will be great. And boring.

Wait, how are your kids perfect-or are they the robots? Aaahaa🤔

That is very smart.

Don't get a dog! If you do have guests, someone will be allergic, scared, or both!

But if you don’t have guests the dog is fine.
So as I said, don’t have guests.

PSA
If you host for the sake of feeling good, for being appreciated, or wanting to do a favor when you really want to say no, then don't host.

But if you truly want to give, then know that for whatever reason it may be "there will certainly be some discomfort along the way". If you know that as a guarantee, but you also know you're hosting with pure positive intentions, then you're good to go

This spinoff is rude and insulting to the OP of the other thread. During sefira too.

Not nearly as juvenile as expecting your hosts to anticipate your every conceivable desire and then coming here to fake a "PSA"
when they don't.
