In today's Asking Eric column, R. Eric Thomas responds to someone who is no longer interested in hosting ungrateful relatives at their home.
In the past, their arrival/departure times have been inconvenient. They converse loudly after others have retired for the evening or before others have risen in the morning. Doors are slammed simply from habit. Bath and bed linens are left in disarray. They are provided comfortable guest accommodations and multiple meals, but never bring a host gift. I have the impression they feel entitled, as some of the families do not have financial concerns.
In the interest of peace, you should let go of some of your qualms – maybe the bed linens? Or, if you don’t want them to use your products, take them off the shelf. Part of this is just miscommunication – what’s a dollop of shampoo between relatives?
