Locked your door and pretended you were not at home when someone came to visit you? You can call me an anti-social person I don’t care, but if I don’t feel like entertaining or talking to someone I lock the door. Now I have to be honest and say that our doors are always locked. Our front door opens straight into the living room which is something I don’t like so I always keep it locked.
Last night I was sitting behind the computer while DH was sleeping on the couch when I saw a car pull up into our drive way. It was one of DH’s brothers. The thing with that brother is that we NEVER see or hear from him unless he needs something from us and usually that something is money. I didn’t feel like talking to my brother-in-law and I also didn’t want to wake DH up because I knew he’d had some rough nights without sleep. So I didn’t open the door for my brother-in-law when he knocked on the door. He could not have known anyway if we were home or not.
Does it make me a bad person? I don’t think so! I think that only visiting your family whenever you think you can get some money is worse…

Heck no, that doesn’t make you a bad person. Your home should be your castle and your place of refuge, not someone else’s place of money.
