Ah, as a recovering people pleaser this is really resonating as a part of this dynamic that I am responsible for and likely is worsening the situation.

Is it weird for me to expect others to just know what has been described here though? That if you are a house guest then it is important to make yourself available for a shared meal (unless it’s a circumstance where that’s not possible - like an overnight for a conference or you are just too busy in which case you would make that clear and thank the guest for letting you stay while you go about your business), or if you are staying quite often for decent amounts of time to do/say something to really show your appreciation?

Even though I agree I need to say something if I have an issue, I also feel like being a decent guest is common sense (?)[/quote]

Is she the youngest in the family?  Just curious.  [/quote]
