The Annoying Relative

Hello friends welcome to my blog

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

I love it when my relatives visit me, it's always a happy moment for me because we will have lots of catch-up. All attention will be focused on this relative, especially when he or she is a jolly and cheerful person. The visit or presence of a relative gives my home a new positive vibe that I love.

When I have a younger relative come around, it gives me relief as they help me out with chores. Giving me more time to relax until they leave.

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

I don't have any annoying relatives, or do I say I don't notice the annoying ones because we are not close? My close relatives are all beautiful souls, although they have their flaws, but not to the extent of detesting their presence. When we come together as relatives, everyone has been tolerant, knowing their kind of person, although there are times when we have heated arguments that get some people angry for a while, and we continue our family happy bonding.

I think there is understanding and tolerance among my relatives, so you hardly find an annoying person who detests you. So none of my relatives will I say is annoying to me...oh now I remember I have two aunties that are always full of complaints of how you don't communicate with them. Whenever you see them, that's the first word that comes from them. But I later realised they do that just for fun, they do not take it to heart.

They are nice and caring people you will always like to have in your space. Although they have never visited me, we only see each other when we travel to the village.

Share your experience with this relative of yours

Like I said earlier about my aunties. I have two aunties, they are my dad's sister, whenever they see you come back to the village the first word they use in welcoming you is telling you "you dont call someone on the phone" it gets me angry that i avoided them, they should aleast welcome you and ask how you are doing. But with time I understood they don't take it seriously, because they are good and caring when you are with them. So, on getting to understand them, whenever they say such a word to me, all I do is apologise for not communicating and promise to do better, and we move on.

I believe that sometimes those relatives we see as annoying could be sweet if we understand them.

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

Some family members or relatives are bitter and wicked. Such people are not happy when things are going well with other family members; they want things to work fine for just them and when it's not so with them, they react negatively. I have not witnessed such before among my relatives, but have had stories of such a person in a close friend's family.

My mum has also told me a story of a lady in my village who visited a couple in the city, she was related to the man. she stayed for some time with them and began causing trouble among the couple to the extent that the man have to send his wife out of their room to a separate room. The lady who visited took charge of the home. It took the intervention of other relatives to restore peace in that home, and the lady who visited had to leave.

There should be boundaries when relatives visit, especially when visiting a married relative; you should know that it is not just your relative who is involved now. But there is another person that needs to be respected and given some privacy.

So a relative can divide a home, the bitter and wicked ones who don't love you genuinely.
