Personal Consumer Issues • Visiting relatives - stay at their place or hotel ?

Where would you prefer to stay?

If it's with your relatives, then stay with them for no longer than 3 days. Bring them a nice hostess gift and treat them to some meals out.

If it's a hotel, and you can afford a hotel, stay at the hotel.

Personally, I would not be offended if visiting relatives stayed at a hotel instead of my place. (But I'm somewhat of an introvert.)

One of the benefits of getting older is feeling more comfortable doing what you want.
I’m glad you brought this up. I’m also an introvert, and that is why I prefer to stay in a hotel. No matter how much I love you, I need some “time away” too. And with a hotel, I have more control over that, and more control over how I spend my time. It’s hard to describe, I’m really not a control freak. And really not being shy r stand offish. But everybody is better off when that I stay in a hotel.

I’ve only learned much later in life that I’ve offended a lot of people by doing this. I didn’t understand that many feel genuinely hurt when you decline to stay at their homes. And they had no idea that I do it, because I would so great,y appreciate others doing it when they visit me.
