Would you ask a snoop to house sit?

[black_rose]

No! But I would boobie trap everything like Audax said and then put in cameras as per mummenurse's suggestion to get a laugh if I absolutely had to.

[Rouge]

Helllll no.

[Just Me]

No, I don't think I would but it is easy to say that in theory ...

Are you asking because you feel obligated to let the snoop housesit? Or desperate for a housesitter?

I guess, I think the same as Miss E ... you are asking for a reason so I was just wondering about it. Not that you have to share if you don't want to but there might be other solutions that you haven't thought about ...

I know my MIL is a snoop, but we still have them house-sit.. They were here a few months back, and I made sure there was a suprise in the 1st drawer (the easiest thing to access in our room), and suprisingly nothing our room was touched..

All the kids clothes were put away, the rest of the house was spotless, and my sheets changed, but mine and DH's clothes were left on our bed (she used to put them away and it iritated me!

And we allow them to house-sit because they are DH's parents, and that is just the way she is.

No.

(Apparently this reply message is too short, I have to lengthen it to at least 5 characters, I’ve never had that error message before ).

No way!

No way. My sister housesat for us last year for a weekend, and after we got back she confessed she'd been looking for something (norty how-to manuals) and found our toy drawer.....and then called another sister and they went through it together I cannot describe how absolutely violated I felt, and we have never asked her to housesit again.

Fair enough, you may not have anything to hide - but that doesn't mean everyone needs to see and know what you have. I would not only NOT ask them, I would be upfront about why.

And if you're stuck for a housesitter, we're living with my parents at the moment, so we're available

[surprised]

Absolutely not! In fact, I would never ask anyone to housesit for us anyway. I have done it for others (didn't look at their stuff though!) and really hated it.

[Geeky]

Not at all, far too creepy.

WHAAAAAAAT! I bet they sat & had a good giggle. I would have been thinking so hard to come up with some reason to get them ****ting themselves about STD's or something. I can't believe someone would do that. Snoop yes (I have snooped when house sitting before but I was very young & it was as a PP said only in linen cuboards/sewing room. Not personal personal stuff) but to then call someone over to have a good rummage & giggle about something so incredibly personal & then I assume tell you about it?!

I hope you ***** slapped the pair of them!

[Bumperstump Cummerbund]

I was gobsmacked tbh. And humiliated. A little while later I sent them both text messages to say how disappointed and embarrassed I was, and that I couldn't trust them to be unsupervised in our house anymore. I rarely tell people off, I generally just dwell on it and make myself upset, so they were quite embarrassed and apologetic. I felt like slapping them though

HB - Think of it this way: even if you lock sensitive stuff away, it's gonna be on your mind while you're on holiday, and it will spoil it for you. So tell your DH too bad, you're picking someone else

[human bean]

Yeah that's pretty intense Keike!! And thanks for the house sitting offer too - will keep it in mind
