Speaker 1 (00:00):
We got a question for American mamas. Dear mama, is
how long until you overstay you're welcome? Well, let's ask
American mama's.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Mamma Mama.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Enjoining us now are American mama's tern Needeville and Kimberly Burlison.
Oh so sad you guys got to go. Thank you

Speaker 3 (00:36):
We love you guys. Oh, thank goodness too. This is
like an actual topic in our house right now. Really, yes,
this is a topic.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
You have a house guest.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
Well, when people came, I'm like, please just stay for
a long weekend, please, Okay, I just want a long weekend.
Three days, three three days maybe four three four tops.
That's it, you know, because the rule of thumb is
you want people to be, you know, sad that you're
and wishing you would stay longer, sure, and not relieve
that you're leaving. Okay, So we're going to Portland and
(01:06):
my husband's brother lives in Portland. Okay, it's going to
be his birthday. So my husband because it's his brother.
He wants to go for a week, all right, And
I said, we're not doing that. I said, I won't go,
and he's like, you won't go, and I'm like, not
if you're going for a week. I said, I'll go
for a long weekend. But that's as long as I'm going,
because but this is my brother. I said, no, I'm
(01:27):
telling you. His wife doesn't want us there for more
than a long weekend. Trust me.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
Okay, but is it possible that other people have a
different determination.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
It's not possible.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
It's not possible.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
It's not possible.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
Well, it depends on if it's family or if it's friends. Okay,
let's just say it like that. Like I remember, and
this is probably why when we were growing up, if
we were allowed to spend the night with somebody, they
would take us at five the night with Friday night
and they would pick us up by ten Saturday morning,
and am in that was it? Okay? And I always like, oh,
(02:03):
we were you know, we were just getting started and nope,
that's the deal. Well then you become a parent and
you're like, what a gift that was? You know, because
usually if a kid stays, it will be all day
and then they might stay that night another night on
the weekends. I had this happen all the time. But
I also remember we were when we lived in Mississippi.
I was in seventh grade, you were in the eighth grade.
Raleigh Walker and his family came and stayed with us.
(02:24):
They were coming in and they were going on to
Florida for the beach. Well, they got there the night before.
Mom put on a big meal. We had a great time.
We had fun with the kids, and then we all
had big pilot palettes on the floor in the living room.
The next morning we woke up, they were gone, and
I was like, oh wait, we're Scott Matt and where's everybody.
(02:45):
My dad said, that's the way to do it.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
That's the way to do it.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
So that's what we did if we needed a landover.
You know, It's like, you don't want them to feel
like they have to get up and make big breakfast
and they can say, oh, we wish I would have stayed.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
Are the best guests inside.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
It's like when when Kimberly and I went to New
York just for a visit, we stayed with our cousin Rachel,
and how many days like three or four, I don't know,
and we were never there. We we we had a
mission first of all, so we were there on a mission.
But we saw every single site everything we wanted to see.
And Rachel's husband was like, they're the best guests we
(03:21):
have ever had. We weren't there. We took them, woke up, Yeah,
then we were. We were went to bed that we
were not there. They're working too. Yeah, we're trying to
stay out of the way. And we were enjoying ourselves too.
So that was a free you know, free board for
the time that we were there. So we didn't want
to and we didn't want to interfere in their time.
But I just think that if you leave, like Kimberly said,
(03:41):
it's kind of like at a party, if you leave
the party at a place where people are like, oh man,
I wish that. I wish they didn't have to leave
so early. That was so fun. We got to have
them back rather than be the person where they're flicking
the light on and off like hold everybody, hey, we
got to go to bed. You know, there's just you
have to be.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
Aware of you remember me and that friend that I used
to have that I dropped like a sandbag. Remember that
one worst guess I ever had. So when we lived
in Utah, you would not believe the number of people
that want to come to your home because they want
to ski. Sure, so I'm talking weeks at a time.
We're having constant guests. We were not wealthy, we were
just in our twenties. You know, just fly today. So
(04:22):
that's a lot. That's very costly to have people come
to your home for a week at a time all
the time, yes, in the winter. And to me, I
thought if people would come just for a long weekend.
But then say, I know, you got a job to do.
You got work to do, You do your thing. We
just needed a place to stay all day every day.
I can do that. But when they want you to
(04:42):
entertain them, yeah, no, no, only certain certain people. But
that one friend I dropped like a sandbag. Were complained
to me, you fit into people's lifestyle if they wake
up there, if you wake up early, fit into their lifestyle.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Right. No, I get that absolutely, and I try and
do that when I when I travel somewhere new, I
want to fit into the culture that's that's there, and
households have their own cultures. So yeah, you do want
to try and fit in, and if you don't like
their culture, don't stay there next.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
Time exactly for five days exactly. So when you and
Wendy come to my house weekend, tops.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
I'm delightful. People want me to stay way past everyone.
Everyone else going they're like that guy. Okay, uh, well,
we're out of time. If you'd like to ask our
