The Annoying Relative

Source

I can remember vividly my Aunty Esther, she is my mother's sister whenever she is around we take cover because she doesn't tolerate nonsense, she beats us in any slightly noise in the house. As fun as it may sound my siblings and I started praying for her to die. Do you know that she will report us to my mother and my mother would give her the go-ahead to beat us. Aunty Esther was one of my Aunties that is so annoying and authoritative .

Do you see it as a burden or an added advantage when your relatives visits you?

I don't really see it as a burden when any of my relatives visits, like my late uncle 😭 we are the one praying for him to come around because his coming is worth it. He takes us around ,buy things for us. His stay is an advantage to us. But any relative like my Aunty Esther I see them as burden.

Is there a relative you find to be very annoying that you detest his or her presence in your house?

There's this relative of mine that is very lazy, in fact I haven't seen what I can compare him with. All what he knows is to eat and sleep. I heard my parents asking him countless times if he would like to learn a trade but he chose to be a lazy man. Whenever he comes around our home I feel irritated by his presence.

Share your experience with this relative of yours

When we were small my father leaved in another state because of his work we stayed in the village with my mother, and my mother was a busy businesswoman sometimes before we wake up she has gone out keep things for us. Most times my mother younger sisters comes around to stay with us. Then television wasn't rampant as it is now, when we take excuse from my Aunty to go watch film in our neighbor's house she will give us time and if we forget and over stayed she will come there and drag us back us shamefully.

Is it possible for one's relatives to divide one's home? Explain

In as much as it can happen but it's rare, unless that relative is being jealous. There are jealous relatives that aim at destroying people's homes not minding what it can cause them. They come in form of disciplinarians , due process people, and overzealous people, In their mind they know what they are doing. Someone without critical thinking may think they are right until the deal is done.
There are young children who have passion for dancing and exploring the net when they are pursuing this their talents these relatives can be an eagle always seeing the bad from what they are doing , thereby reporting this young mind to their parents in order to spoil the parents mind against their children. In this scenario I can tell you categorically those relatives can divide ones home.

Relatives should know their boundaries, we are in modern era it's not everything that should be seen as a taboo, especially frequent use of laptops and phones. There are many things online using phone this days are not necessarily for pleasure we are making money, when a relative visit learns to mind your business if possible learn .
