How much would it take for somebody to earn a permanent ban from visiting your home? For some, it could be something as simple as not cleaning up after themselves properly. For others, theft or mistreating a pet might earn such a punishment. The boundaries are different for everybody, but perhaps one standard that almost everybody can agree on is that if an individual causes you physical harm, they don’t get the privilege of being in your house.

Of course, accidents happen, and not every household incident is worthy of a complete banishment. However, if somebody gets hurt because of rash or aggressive behavior, it is understandable to put up some strong boundaries. Nobody wants to feel unsafe in their own home, especially if the person responsible for it was welcomed there with open arms. It is a betrayal of trust, and there are people who will only learn this the hard way.
