When I tell people to make themselves at home in my house, I literately mean do whatever you do at home*.

I will tell you where to put your laundry and ask you to please do something if it is something I want to be done a specific way or just silently do it. I also give up my bed and sleep on the sofa when I have guests over.

I guess people are different and expect different things from house guests, but this is how I is used to doing it when I have guests over, and have for my whole life. And after having a friend over for a week where I have cleaned up after both of us and put up with some things done in a way I don't usually do them, I've also slept on the sofa for the whole week (and my sofa is tiny), but she is my guest I told her she could stay in my home and that means making some sacrifices.

*Off course normal politeness is something I expect, but that is something I expect of everyone at all times so.

And obviously there's nothing wrong with laying down some rules.

But you can't say "do what you want" and be surprised if they do! And if they are rude, well, reign that shit in! It's your place. You are allowed.

Course, but you have to make those rules, not complain that someone broke them without being told about them. As someone whom have lived with 4 different families (not counting the people I've lived with after moving out on my own) I know that most people do things differently. And what some might consider rude is normal in another household.

It might be an ESL thing, but isn't telling something you do to children, your students and such and asking what you do to your equals? Because translated directly to Norwegian I ask my friends to do something and tell my younger siblings to do things?

esl too

from what i understand, "asking" tends to be on a more polite register, so yeah, it would be with equals or superiors (and children you are not looking after, I think?), while "telling to do" is what you would to someone you expect to be subordinate to you (like children you are looking after?) or a friend you know wouldn't be offended
