A homeowner is grappling with a moral dilemma: their neighbors have lost their home in a fire and need temporary accommodation. The homeowner describes the neighbors as 'acquaintances, not friends' but feels obligated to offer them shelter. The situation highlights the tension between social responsibility and personal boundaries. Experts suggest carefully considering the potential impact on the homeowner's well-being and privacy before making a decision. It's also recommended to set clear boundaries and expectations if the offer is made, and to explore alternative solutions such as contacting local charities or insurance companies that may provide temporary housing assistance.
