Kaelynn,

I wish I could give you an answer that will help. I know the frustration that you're feeling, having been in a similar situation once upon a time.

There is no difference between what you are proposing, and what happens at the bar. It just appears that your room-mates have no concern for you and your apparent needs, and wishes. They don't have the right to tell you who can visit and who can't, especially considering they won't even be there.

Maybe this is the time for a confrontation, with the hopes that time apart will help them "grow up" and things won't be as tense, when they return.

As has been told to me numerous times, feel free to vent here. Maybe some of the other members will have suggestions.

Sorry I can't offer much.
