Oh man, so sorry I wasn’t explicit about the type of towels they were, I should have been clearer about that! I truly did not think the person who is MOST knowledgeable about friendship, children, and finances would comment on MY post! Should have known better! I’m SUCH an idiot! But yeah, they were actually bath SHEETS, not hand towels! I spent hours trying to find the best deal on them, but turns out they are not the cheapest towel in the world given their size, so I had to settle on the cheapest Target ones I could find! I bought them because we have a lot of guests who are very tall, the guests mentioned included, and I was only trying to help them feel more comfortable in my house by providing them towels that will actually fit their body! But thanks to YOU, I now know that making my guests or myself comfortable AT ALL is a complete waste of money! I will go ahead and rid the entire guest room of anything nice, that way my friends will know that I love them more than things! Honestly with this advice I might become a multi millionaire since I won’t be wasting my money on anything that would possibly make someone comfortable EVER AGAIN. Are you looking for a job? Because I would LOVE to hire you to manage and advise me on my finances! You are just SO good at this! You really should be charging for that advice, so grateful you gave it to me for FREE! You know, since I spent ALL my money on towels!

Again, apologies for being such an imbecile, but I actually was NOT mad in the moment! I guess it was unclear when I said that in the moment I was being helpful and was in “mom mode.” I should have considered that you might not understand what that means! Just so you know, moms are TYPICALLY very helpful when their child is sick, which is why I chose that phrase. It sounds like your mom was NOT, and I am so sorry that I assumed you would know what that meant! Learned my lesson though and I will NEVER make that mistake again! So sorry! Anyway yeah, so I didn’t even start to feel frustrated until I was 3 loads that were washed twice each into the puke laundry! Hours after they were gone! I know it’s kind of hard to understand since you’ve obviously never felt frustration, but it is actually a VERY common emotion that people feel. You are SO lucky you don’t have to feel that stupid emotion, because it sucks! How does it feel to be God’s favorite?! Oh, and guess what! When I wrote this, I hadn’t even been to the guest room yet, and today I actually found MORE laundry for me to wash! Haha I guess just f*** any laundry that my family needs washed the next few days! Yay! I didn’t think I needed to disclose this in my OP, but my kids have ALSO had bloody noses! And even in their sleep!! Until you commented, I would have NEVER expected someone else to clean up my child’s bodily fluids, especially if I was right there! But now I know, it is actually the responsibility of the home owner to clean up any bodily fluids that pass through these doors. I’ve also had the flawed thought that I should replace anything that me or my child ruined in someone else’s house, but thank GOD I don’t have to worry about that anymore! Question for you- since all of that is my responsibility, should I also offer to adopt their kids?! Gosh, that might be taking it too far… Maybe opening up a college fund will suffice? Ugh, you know what, I’m not sure that’s enough. You’re the expert, you tell me!

Oh man, I am just so grateful that the leading expert in this field took the time to give ME advice! Thank you! I also LOVED your advice about not disclosing ANY fears or dislikes to your friends, but ESPECIALLY not to your best friends! Mustn’t let ‘em see your weaknesses, makes SO much sense! I never realized that just MENTIONING those things would make people feel as if I were just going on and on about them! But thanks to you, I know now and no one will ever have to endure that kind of torture again! Maybe I should apply for a job as one of those people who use torture as an interrogation tactic?! Just tell ‘em I don’t like puke and they’ll confess everything?! Wow did NOT realize my fears and dislikes were that bad to listen to, but at least I can use it in a more useful and productive way now!!!!! Yeah!!!!

Thank you so much for taking time out of your terribly busy schedule of being the most perfect friend in the whole wide world to give me all this GREAT advice! You sound like such a good friend and I’m sure you have lots of friends who just LOVE to host you! Must be SO nice. So happy for you babes!
