Personal and misplaced dig aside, aren't you rather missing the point about families? Good and bad parts, rough with the smooth and all that. |

There's many mean spirited people posting on this thread. It you don't want friends/relatives staying with you then have the testicular fortitude to tell them NO.

Re: Visitor fatigue
I like my visitors, the current one especially but it is tiring trying to be a good host and tour guide. I don't keep in touch with people I don't like so they wouldn't be asking to visit.

Yes, somewhat, but at least one wouldn't be squirming and rolling eyes every time the visitor entered your company or spoke to you. Perhaps you'd be afraid that you would cutoff your supply of free accommodation when visiting the U.K. 😱😱😱

I don't have anyone in that category really. I dont send Christmas cards so any other contact is meant. I'm a marmite type of person, either loved or hated so people who ask to visit want to see us and not bum free accomodation. |

Re: Visitor fatigue
I love this thread. Makes me realize I'm by no means the only one who finds it difficult to tolerate guests. I'm always so relieved to have the place back to myself.
My daughter is always asking to have friends to sleep over. I dread it. S |
Re: Visitor fatigue
As a positive counter point. I love it when my brother visits. I get to see him every two years or so.
I don't mind acting as a fully inclusive resort for him, as he spends a lot of his time doing stuff for my parents. Running them to hospital appointments and the like. I consider it my way of thanking him for all he does for them. He's also hilarious to be around |
