M8, my compliments, you must be the most civilised person I've ever met. I'm not going to tell you how to run your life, just remember that for anyone who walks into your house, 'no' should mean 'no'. I don't know your family, but I have certain family members that have a name for doing pretty much the same thing, and if you keep looking away, this might never end. Parents or not, you shouldn't allow yourself to be manipulated like this. People refuse to stick with your houserules? They can go celibrate Christmas somewhere else.
I may sound a bit self-righteous, but it is only intended as advice. Hey.. I'm still young and arrogant
