Gone but not forgotten
We have a separate guest area so five days to a week for family is fine .
Two rolls of toilet paper is my limit... as guest or as host.
We haven’t stayed with friends for more than a few days, and I wouldn’t want to stay any longer than that. Friends and relatives have stayed with us while snowbirding for up to a week and it’s been ok.
I like your "compromise".Last year, the same brother rented a large cabin for a week this past summer and then sent out an “invitation” to each sibling family advising us that we were “required” to attend and how much our share for the week would be.
I was not amused, but the DW liked the idea and was excited to go. Our compromise was I paid, she went for the week, and I got to stay home.
We had friends stay 3-4 days with us (snowbirding) last winter. Then, they left to visit other areas of the state (3 days). They returned for another 3 days then went home. The break was nice for both couples and they only spent 2 nights in a motel. I had never thought of that rotation, but it worked well.
Thanks!I like your "compromise".
Thanks!
In my B-I-L's (and my wifes other sibling's) defense, they are really good folks. They just have different ideas when it comes to socializing. For them, whether as hosts or guests, you spend every waking moment together. I will never be like that and have learned to keep the visit as short as possible, or the DW goes and I stay home.
