When you’ve got family coming in for a visit, telling them to find another place to stay can seem like wishful thinking. But if you just can’t face the prospect of putting up with your demanding relatives for days on end, there are ways to handle the situation with tact. The first thing you’ll want to do is be up front about the fact that your abode is off limits. After that, you can smooth things out by helping them make other arrangements, financing their accommodations and making sure they enjoy the time you spend together.
