Too many relatives came in

Philippines
October 24, 2018 10:37pm CST
When I left the IP office after my complaint, I went to a kiosk and bought chicken for my dog. Then I saw one of my Mom's friend and gave her surprise. But she surprised me because one of my relatives came by to visit. It was their side trip because they accompanied of their own to the airport. My GOD they were so many of them. It's rare we had this many visitors and one in particular I don't like Sadly, I didn't get the chance to have that much talk with my cousins. They've change so much. Grandmother was the one they just visited.

Is not it good to have surprise family get together some time? I am sorry that you could not talk much to your cousins.

You seem not to be happy seeing them all. I love it when relatives visits suddenly and they have brought lots of foods. But not when we are so surprised that we don't have many foods enough for all of them,

@Letranknight2015 I’m guessing it has something to do with gossiping?

@flapiz She was a thief and a bad gossiper. and once too often she on often terrorize our family maid, which was why she didn't come back anymore. She did a lot of terrible things. But we don't confront her anymore because she's old. But she knows she's guilty that's why she was quiet the whole time she was here.

Hello @Hannihar he loved it, as long as there are no bones anymore.

Sometimes more relatives and friends can be exciting to meet. The only minus side is the food expenses can go up a notch!

I do not like when a herd visits. Prefer just one or two. Can spend quality time.

I was wondering about that @Aquitaine24 because we got more space at the back which they didn't go.

i don't like surprise visitors, either, especially when mother actually knew but forgot to tell me. it's understandable, though, that they want to visit your grandmother. is your mother the one in green?

Hello @hereandthere Mother didn't tell me as well and when they came I was not around. They've already talked to my grandmother.

@Letranknight2015 it's a great fun. We will eat together. We gossip about what's going on in their life. Planning to go for a tour etc. As we are meeting after a long period so lots of things are there to gossip.

Yeah its kind of a nice and unexpected visits that really irks us the most. But you cannot just not welcome there because they are visitors so you have to entertain them for as long as they would like to stay there. On the other hand its nice to know them especially when you haven't seen them for a long time. So I guess you just have to contend to welcome them and be patient enough for them to leave.

In family reunions you don't get to pick who comes. Although we have to acknowledge even the people we don't like with some greetings. Just spend more time with those whose company you enjoy.

Hello @josie_ It's rare for us to have that kind of reunion. It's usually my brother's family and kids.

It is still a good visit, a good get together of a relative seeing each other once in a while.
