[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]After a few years of no visitors due to COVID, we’re back to being the family destination for the Fourth because everyone wants to visit for the fireworks, etc. I love my family but I find that I no longer have the stamina, patience, energy or even tolerance for houseguests. [Insert comments about how horrible I am here, and how people will die someday, etc. I know.]

I just no longer want to cook, clean, and play concierge to every visiting relative of mine and of my husband’s, especially when it comes to picky eaters, high-maintenance people, whiny teens, etc. I’ve lost any joy I ever had in hosting, and after the break COVID gave me for holidays, etc., I just don’t know how to get it back.

Did you invite any houseguests? People don’t just get to invite themselves for overnight stays. Tell everyone you have a prior engagement, but you hope they have a happy Independence Day. Or check out their small town fireworks displays because you want to “get out of the city.” They can host you.[/quote]
