My wife and I moved to a small town along the coast. Our three-bedroom, two-bath home can (comfortable) accommodate a total of about eight people, us (include).
Here is the problem: We have some close friends who occasionally come to visit. On one previous visit, they announced at dinner that a close friend of (they) would be "drop-ping by" the following day.
The next day, their friend showed up with her two children, her older sister and her dog. It was obvious they intended to stay with us, because they dragged in pillows from their car.
My wife welcomed them with open arms. We then set about (try) to find space for them, many of whom slept on the floor or the sofa. This brought number of people from seven to 11, plus an additional dog.
When everyone left the end of the three-day holiday, my wife and I had a long discussion about what (happen) and what we would do about it. We agreed that our friends took advantage of us, and we decided (change) the visiting rules.
As a result, our friends' visits are less frequent, which makes my wife (happy).She wants to throw the new rules out. I totally disagree. What is the way out?
