The always leave a mess - on the floors - they break things by accident and they just don't consider anything that belongs in my house. The last time they came round they reversed into the outside wall, did no damage to the wall but I thought it was annoying. They even tried to get my dog drunk.They never do this whenever we go to each others house except mine. I've tried telling them how I feel about it but they just ignore me.I don't want to make a new set of friends because unlike other people, I find it extremely difficult to make new friends so I'll be on my own. Can anyone help me and tell me what I should do?
