RE: Guests over weekend

in WORLD OF XPILAR2 days ago

Family visits do seem to have a way of disrupting our lives, even when we really like our visitors. I always feel quite relieved when we get our space back!

Hope the visit goes well.

That is true, do you think that this feeling is getting more and more disruptive once we get older? At least it seems this way for me. I hope that it is not true and it is just because we are tired. Anyway, I must say it is a great feeling of freedom and relaxation :)

Stef, I think as we get older we become more used to "doing things a certain way," and when visitors come, we end up having to use a different routine.

I remember my auntie in Denmark always having lots of family visitors... I lived with her for longer periods of time (months) and she was always relieved to see the end of guests. Her point was that she was not as energetic as she once was... and having to be "on" for visitors took more energy than when she was younger.
