housemates

September 03 2016

I was just wondering for those who live with housemates are you able to host? I often come across people on here who say they cannot host because they have a housemate . I've never shared a house but often wonder why people can't host because of it - I would of thought that if you are paying rent and you are an adult most people would assume or expect a single person to have company at some point? If I personally were sharing a house I wouldn't mind them having guests but I guess everyone is different. I do also come across those with housemates who can host so I was just curious to see what others situations are when it comes to the rules of the house :)

    Before I had a housemate I hosted casual encounters with regular playmates during the day/night . But now since I'm living with someone I like to keep my encounters on rhp away from my house until there's abit more trust and I know the person better. I wouldn't want the housemate to feel uneasy with me hosting "strangers" - Posted from rhpmobile

    I also have found most share house and I am expected to host, which I am currently finding difficult, because I work from home. Finding the time ATM anyway is difficult but having to clear the decks for company actually loses me money because of the time involved. But why can't they ever host? I suspect some are attached and not telling me, others just taking the easy option, others just being selfish, but whatever the reason, I can't see why they can't occasionally ask their housemates to make themselves scarce while they receive company, and return the favour for them?

    There are a few reasons IV. It could be that there is more than one housemate,that bringing random's home puts you in the position of being judged,that having sex in the house with others there is an inhibitor . Scheduling can be tricky,housemates can come home unexpectedly...the list goes on .Q

    My housemates would always say to me that I could have friends over..... I just couldn't do it......I didn't feel as though it was my place too... I don't share anymore, - Posted from rhpmobile

    Yeah we are in the process of moving into our own place been sharing for a year after moving state and had enough. We can have guests but don't want the questions of what we are up too being asked, therefore if we are planning on a meet we either be hosted or get a hotel room. That and it's not our place and feel like we may make our housemates uncomfortable as they are conservative.

    Another one could be house mates that are family ,like ours ,kids mean we can't do anything at home ,when you have mid twenty year olds living at home and between the two of them never a minute alone in the house and you can't get anything past them,In the naughty department ,and if we go out to try and meet up with people,we get the 20 questions before and after ,lol, so we suddenly have some new friends we a catching up for coffee with ,they have never met ,lol - Posted from rhpmobile

    current housemate is quite dependant on me and very attached. She does tend to make herself scarce, though, when strangers come around, to the extent that she doesn't mind sleeping outside when it may be required. Tall

    Quoting 'Tall_n_Hard' current housemate is quite dependant on me and very attached. She does tend to make herself scarce, though, when strangers come around, to the extent that she doesn't mind sleeping outside when it may be required. Tall call her a bitch - she's a girl puppy! (Whatever her age)

    Quoting 'Tall_n_Hard' She's actually a cat. Your post gave me confidence she was not a girl person. A friend's cat used to be pretty friendly with visitors if they wore denim jeans, in which case she (the cat) would sit on your lap clawing your leg, purring and dribbling. At other times she would either ignore people, or (without provocation) would bite or swat at them with claws exposed. She could be a nasty, cantankerous kitty cat. Not the sort of housemate for me! My cousin's old cat lives on the farm where I am now. She's also quite independent/standoffish with people, though she's been quite friendly toward me. The other 'housemates' around the farm here are mostly bovine, arachnid, chiroptera or herpetological. We mostly stay out of one another's way!

    one of said 'herpetological' housemates in the hay shed. Red Bellied Black. Didn't see its full length, but its tail is pretty thick. I'd been warned of its presence near two years ago, but had not run into that one myself. I have found myself face to face with several of its compadres elsewhere around the property. There are Brown snakes here too. I'd gone to get a bit of hay for the young steers new to the farm. I caught the snake's tail with the pitchfork as I raked some loose hay. (The steers take to hay kind of like kids do an Ice Cream treat).
