Do you enjoy having house guests?

I love to cook a big meal for friends and family, have late night conversations with a bottle or two of something scrummy, and then make sure you everyone has cosy comfy place to sleep. And then the following morning breakfast for everyone before it’s time to go. I get happy satisfaction that people feel looked after and well fed when they come to stay. Does anyone else feel like this?

For a few days but I need my downtime. By day 3 I’m done.

I do like making people happy. But only certain people. And not a large group.

Only for my family, we're a huge crowd!😁

I think if I were a normal, mentally healthy, and socially competent person, I would. Buuuuut, I'm not. lol I prefer to have my personal space. I'd rather not have anyone come over to my house ever. Not because I don't like my friends or anything, I just like my alone time more.

@Madhatter My wife and I are pretty much the same way...our home is our retreat, our sanctuary. We like/don't mind/enjoy visitors occasionally, but we prefer our space and privacy and don't like or want that disrupted too often or for too long.

I think tha would bring anxiety to many and even a fear that it wouldn’t be good enough. You apparently have a gift of hospitality. Sincere joy from making others feel comfortable. 🙂

I used to.. But I got taken advantage of too many times. Regarding my home becoming a free hotel to family members who wouldn't leave!
I like visitors!
And they can leave 🤣

I do NOT like having house guests, unless it is for a short period of time. The wife and I are set in our ways and having people over for extended stay gets in our way of our daily routines.

Yes it's fun, only bad thing is you have to tidy up afterwards and you had already cleaned before the guests came, but other than that with good company and drinks everything is good!

The only house guests we've had are my roommate's brother and his family. It'd be great if they'd visit without their kids.

I don't mind it unless they don't make a mess and neighbors don't start complaining about noise

Not really. People stay too long. Lol. I much rather go to their house.

Keepitsimple · 51-55, F

For a night. Maybe 2 then it’s time for them to go.

Yes, I guess me too 🙂

bijouxbroussard · F

Yes, I actually enjoy that, too. But I don’t have a huge place, so it’s generally only one or two people at a time.

I like having them over but it is a headache to set everything up

All depends who. Definitely alcohol makes it more tolerable let's say when my family is there. We really haven't had too many other house guests which is nice
