There's not as much of a problem with 40+ year old men pretending to be family as there is with 20ish year old men.
I was under the impression that men were allowed in all the houses last year, but after jennyj87's post, I'm starting to wonder if some houses don't allow guys in whatsoever. So if you're planning on coming down to bid day, please keep all this information in mind. If you wanna chance it, more power to you, but don't be too surprised if your brother/son isn't allowed in the house.

Hey Bamababe, I have to ask, is there absolutely no other alternative for keeping undesirables out of the house on Bid Day than simply keeping out all young males (no?)? Could you not perhaps check photo-ID's of guys trying to get in as brothers with the PNM's names on the bid list? Or maybe have the PNM come over and vouch for her brother perhaps? Sorry, but I just absolutely abhor the idea of breaking apart, even for a few hours of one day, a nice young man who would not cause any trouble from a sister and parents he's real close to and from a group that's real used to doing these kinds of things "together as family."
Best of luck to all in recruitment!
