[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a family member who when visiting, often brings along friends - sometimes just a couple friends, sometimes an entire family, etc.  I'm always a little put off by the imposition even though I never show it - I would like to be welcoming and easy-going and "the more the merrier".  But I guess I also have always just thought it kind of odd.

But now, I'm thinking.... IS IT ACTUALLY ODD?  I realize my perspective might be screwed up.  Growing up, I was a latchkey child and I wasn't really allowed to have friends over or to go over to see friends, and I never knew how unusual that was until I was an adult.  I had friends over about maybe once a year and only when I was 17/18.  And my family member always had a friend over, or was always at a friend's house - like every single day.

Also we have opposite personalities - my family member is very extroverted, a people person, and I am more on the introverted side.

So is the habit of bringing along friends when visiting normal or strange?[/quote]

Ha!  Fred Lawler!  Yes, it’s odd, but we’re all used to him now.
