The Annoying Relative

Hello everyone On this occasion I want to join a contest held by @bossj23 about Contest Alert: Annoying Relatives. this is my previous entry I want to invite my friends @vickyson @owulama @ashley-p to participate in this contest

Relatives who come to visit the house may be two very different things: depending on what is going on, their character and the condition of the household at the time, they may be a joy or a misery. Relatives come and it warms. reunites and reminds of a lovely childhood for some people. But for others it can also be a source of stress and disharmony, especially if the relative is ignorant, controlling and meddles in our small family and tries to ruin our privacy.

I have personally experienced both sides of this. There is a relative whose presence I really look forward to because he always comes with interesting stories, helps with housework, and knows the time. But there is also one relative who makes me feel uncomfortable. He comes without notice, stays for days without helping at all, even demands facilities like an important guest. He’s always meddling in my business, from how to bring up the kids, eating habits and money, even when I’ve never asked him to! When he is here, my partner and I are both more tense and the house feels strange.

Sometimes, siblings or relatives can in fact split up someone’s home, physically and emotionally. This can occur when personal boundaries are violated, or when they linger too long to the extent of becoming ‘permanent residents’. Some even unintentionally bring negative influences, like couples battling, children who aren’t welcomed by the patient, or no privacy about patient’s territory. But of course, all that can be avoided with good communication, setting boundaries initially, and respecting one another. The home is the last private place for an individual and their family. You should also know that even though you are blood relatives, there are still rules and manners that need to be maintained. A short visit full of warmth is certainly much more meaningful than a long stay that causes discomfort.
