[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, we have always done this with visiting family and they give us a tour when we visit them for the first time. It’s always been the same whether in [b]a 1 br apt[/b] or big house. I also  think it’s perfectly normal/ understandable not to do this - mil was weird for insisting.[/quote]

That's just ridiculous. It's always rude to ask for a tour. A homeowner can suggest a tour, of course, but that is super weird. Like, do they think their house is museum-worthy that their guests would want a tour? No. I'm not interested in your home.

I am the tour poster- I guess we are all very close. We have lived in a lot of different places, but even in our starter crappy places, my aunts and siblings and parents and ILs were excited to see where we were living and proud we were starting our adult lives. Maybe it's in part that we've always lived in different states, so our family members always at least spend the night? But I have been in all the rooms of their houses and apartments, also ranging from dinky to palatial. It is not about thinking a home is museum worthy. Even now, I can think of over 10 adult friends (and plenty of their kids) who have seen my bedroom with an unmade bed. Those occasions were not part of a tour and I'm always mildly embarrassed for someone to see it like that, but it happens. [/quote]
