This woman lives in a tiny rural town along with her husband and their daughter. They bought their current home around four or five years ago from an older couple who had two adult sons.

Their house has a lot of acreage, and it’s a gorgeous home. While she did get to meet the couple who used to live in her home before her, she never did meet their sons.

“It’s a very beautiful custom country French house that the man and his sons built themselves over the course of several years,” she explained.

“The house is very luxurious and so I can see how special it is for them.”

She was on social media yesterday, looking through the posts on a page dedicated to their town and updating residents on various things when she saw a post that caught her eye.

The man who posted was wondering how to get a hold of the owners of a particular home, and he gave out the address.

That was her exact address, and the man who posted stated that he wanted to visit the home so he could show his son where he lived as a kid.

Yet, he didn’t want to randomly show up at the home, especially since there is now a gate at the entrance to the property.

“A lot of people gave him ideas on how to look us up on the internet and find our phone numbers and contact us,” she said.

“My husband and I are very private people, and this kind of bothered me. To put a stop to it, I politely commented on the post that we are not interested and apologized.”

“Now, people are calling me a Karen for not wanting them over. I can see why they’d think I’m a Karen, but TBH, I feel relieved that I was honest because I didn’t feel comfortable with having them over in the first place.”

What bothers her is that she can’t confirm this random man on the internet is indeed related to the old owners of her home, and he could be anyone. That’s why she doesn’t feel comfortable with inviting him over to see her home.

What do you think; did she do the right thing?
