How busy is your House?

My house is nice a quite most of the time. I do have my daughter and grandchildren coming over. My grandchildren stay with me a lot. As far as others coming to the house, well there are not many. The phone rings some days all day, which I don't like unless it's someone to really talk to...not someone wanting me to buy or get something. I hate these calls. I don't like solicitations.

My house is very quite now, in fact too quit! I had two boys, a few live in neices and there was always someone at the house. when my youngest son was the only child(teen) left, there were more people than any other time. His band practiced 5 nights a week, all their friends came to watch. One time the neighbor even came to watch! The hubby and I used to joke about getting up in the morning, "You better be dressed and ready in the morning because you never know who you might find when you go out our bedroom door!"

Hi slickcut, It's very rare to have visitors in the house..We got friends dropping by during weekend but it's not regular! We have a very quite and peaceful house,,This is only the type of environment I grew up with my Parents...So, basically, I do love it.. I was renting an apartment in College and when I got a job where the house is always full of people and visitors...It annoys me sometimes and will hang out with friend's house...

I like to be able to sit and relax and enjoy our home. In general we are a busy bunch. So it seems when I am home, relax is not what I am doing. There is always chores to be done and it always seems I am the only one that knows how to do them. I would love to have people over, but I just moved here and do not know many people yet.

I like a quiet retreat when I get home from work. I guess it depends on where you live and all that bcause some people live in really quiet parts of the world where company is always welcome. I live in one of the busiest places in the world and the last thing i want to do when i get back home is to entertain company or surprise visits who happen to be around the neighbourhood.

hi friend,i think family/house means a quiet and comfortable place to relax when we finish our work in company.I think people should not take the work in their houses.Because houses are not suitable places to deal with our work.people should have a good rest in their house.no work, no busy calls.It is my opinion.lol Good luck ,my friend.

My home is usually quiet and was situated in quiet neighborhood too. Some friends do come visit us but only from time to time. Only me and my wife living on our house so we prefer quiet environment but it does not mean that we don't talk each other. We just like to live here, far from busy workplace.

at times it can be both quiet and very very busy, i guess it depends on what we are all up to blessed be

My house is not very busy my grand mother visits our house once in a month and I love to spend some time with her otherwise my mom , my grandpa and my in laws also visits twice in 6 months but we will be longing to see them, most of the time me , my hub and my two daughters will be alone at home, but we dont feel lonely because we all will relax , enjoy for ourself and some times freak out ...

It depends on what time of the week it is around our house. In my house its my grandmother, grandfather, my two children, and me. During the week that is mostly who is here. Not too many people come by, except for my mom, and that's either to get the new video I got from Netflix, or to pick something up from her mom. The weekend its another story, especially in the last month. At first, it was guaranteed that my mom would come and stay the weekend. Now my brother Deron comes over as well, plus my grandma's friend from work. She usually doesn't stay overnight, but she will sometimes. This Friday was a really crowded day. My mom got off early from work and got my brother Deron. My friend from my old building came over after me begging her to for months on end. (Its not that she doesn't like coming over, she doesn't have a car, so she has to catch the bus. There is a mile's walk from the nearest bus stop to my house) My grandma was going to go to a fish fry with her friend, but the person that was throwing it got lazy and didn't do a thing, so her and the friend came back to the house. My little ex-boy toy (the break-up was Saturday) came over to drop me something off, and stayed a while. He left and came back with his brother. So altogether at one time there was eight people in the house!!! We usually don't hit those type numbers until there is a holiday!!!

My home use to be like that until a few years ago when I moved away. I still had company in small doses where I moved but nothing to the extend that it was. I think I have more of a balance in my life now. I have given this much thought in the past few years and I think if I had my time to do over again I would not of allowed my home to become so busy as it was with people coming and going and the phone ringing all the time. At the time I saw it as unconditional open door policy with friendships and such. Looking back I can see how this type of life robbed me and my family of more quality family time. I didn't see it at the time but now I see how important it is to have your home as a place of refuge for your family. My children should of been able to come home from school and just have mommy all to them selves so they could talk to her and ask her questions if they wanted to or simply just sit on their own couch and veg out. My husband should of been able to come home for dinner and have down time in a quiet home. I didn't see that then but I see that now. Sure it doesn't mean every day had to be that way but my life was out of balance there was always someone there for a visit. I was not taught to understand these things growing up but through the years observing others being different then me and asking questions and someone point blank telling me what they thought one time. I finally learnt. Now my family is all grown up. It is just my husband and I here. My house is not busy with people all the time but close friends will stop by when they can. We also plan get togethers. We all live a distance away so it doesn't happened regular and it is nice. I still often think about my busy home years ago and really I enjoyed it but I wish I were wise enough to bring balance and some structure into it for my family sake.

We're home-bodies and sometimes I feel like we're hermits. Our home is very quiet except for the phone, and mostly the phone calls are from our kids so we're not complaining about that. I like the peace and quiet, but sometimes I think we're too far on that end of the scale.

Our house is always busy!!! We have 4 children that live with us full time and my 2 step children are here every other weekend. I try and bring my Mom over as much as possible because she lives alone and enjoys seeing the kids. There are sometimes when I feel overwhelmed but I would never change it. I feel very blessed to have so much love around us all the time.

I can relax the day.... Specially in weekends, ahhhh.... Very nice. We can sit and see a movie or go outside for a walk. But usually we use the weekends for cleaning-the-house-up purpuoses, so...

I have one friend who visits all the time and is mostly welcome but can also be a real pain as he doesn't know when to leave again and tends to hang around. There are not enough hours in the day for me and I've been known not to answer the phone. I don't encourage visitors either. I like to visit my Dad because we are alike and it's comfy for us to be in the same room with out feeling we have to be incessantly chattering at each other. I see him every 3 months. I find that most people bore me to tears, have no real conversation and nothing to do with their time. It's just my animals and I therefore at our place mostly and that can be busy enough.

Our home is usually pretty quiet except for the noise that our daughter makes. She is an only child and makes enough sound so that it always seems that we have more than one child!

Most of the time it's quiet, especially when I am alone and everyone is at work. But we do often have some neighbours or friends dropping by so after work time sometimes it's quite crowded. And also like today everyone is packing their stuff cuz we are going on a vacation tomorrow. I am all ready though...

I hate it when people drop in to visit. In this age of mobile/cell phones, there is no reason not to give a bit of notice. It seems to me that people who drop in are assuming that they are much more important than anything you might have been doing or intending to do. I'm always doing some project or another, and I don't like the interruption. I'm not a tidy person when I'm working either! I'll ignore the front door and the phone if I'm busy doing something or I don't feel like company. Otherwise, I'm a very social person. I just like it to be planned! I would never, ever drop in on someone unannounced.

I am the person who like privacy and sit in the sofa watching movie,i like quiet place.But since i have my partner he is ougoing person and his mother alway go to our house.And if he is free at work always busy here,telephone somebody is passing by..And in the weekend sometimes my friend sleep over here to spend the weekend. If somebody stay us at home or somebody pass by i feel like i cannot realax.I cant do what ever i want to do even its a our home. Its not that i am not comfortable being around w/ my mother in law and my friends but it just this kind of feelings that you cant do things. I cant even sit in my own sofa and i am worried everytime if they are alright.If they like to stay w/ us.If they like the food..If they can sleep very good. Sometimes i find my self asking my partner to tell to her mother if its possible if she is not passing by today coz i want to sleep until late...hahahah.. Anyway have a nive day...Enjoy your day...TC Greetings from Che!

Where I am currently at is quiet. I am staying with my parents temporarily, and they rarely have company. However, I prefer a busier house. I like to have people coming and going frequently. Well, let me amend that; I like to have friends coming and going frequently.
