We all know that a little privacy in your own home is not a sin. We all require some alone time, whether for our thoughts, hobbies, or simply to soak in a hot bath. The last thing we want is to feel crowded or unwelcome in our own homes. Some visitors, whether relatives or friends, overstay their welcome, and subtle indications aren’t always effective.
After the lockdowns were lifted, one Redditor reported that her husband’s family members continued to visit on a frequent basis. She felt as if she didn’t have enough time (or room!) to herself and was locked in a never-ending cycle of cooking and tidying up after her guests. She eventually had enough and took a significant step to gain control of the situation. Scroll down to read the entire narrative in the OP’s own words, as well as how the AITA community reacted to the family situation. What are your thoughts on what transpired, Pandas?
