If they don't like it, they don't have to be invited back. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-handle-shoes#post-381224 Tue, 06 Nov 2012 11:25:20 +0000 mrbee 381224@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ask politely. If someone were to refuse, I would probably just suck it up but then never invite them over ever again! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-handle-shoes#post-381201 Tue, 06 Nov 2012 11:18:31 +0000 heffalump 381201@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: So cute! </p> <p>We don't have a no shoe rule, but I don't mind taking my shoes off in other people's house. Actually I hate wearing shoes so I prefer it. Usually if I see a place for shoes in the entrance way I'll get the hint. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-handle-shoes#post-381200 Tue, 06 Nov 2012 11:18:11 +0000 MrsBrewer 381200@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hey!

I am strictly no shoes in the house,and with a baby it makes me cringe thinking of having people walk on our carpet with their shoes on, and then my perfect little baby crawling in their germs-yes I realise this might sound crazy. Especially with all the winter mess that can get brought in.</p> <p>Anywho, some of my ILs don't remove their shoes when they come to our home, even when we are all barefoot. How do you handle shoes and guest? </p>
