I really hate being an a-hole, because I’m usually a very giving person. I’ve got a lady wanting to use the entrance and driveway into my OK house in her photography business for photo shoots. The gate stays locked when I’m not there, and I’ve never had any trouble. I’m not comfortable giving someone I don’t know free range to bring other people I don’t know onto my property.
She’s being pretty persistent and even started calling my son now like he’s going to say yes after I declined.
If I lived there, I really wouldn’t have a problem with it.
Nope. You are not being at all unreasonable. I would just keep telling her "No," a bit more emphatically each time. But then, you are probably more diplomatic than I am!
