| How do you deal with irritating relatives? I have a happy family. Although it doesn't necessarily means that me and my wife never argues, but not to the extent of anything out of hand (e.g. physical, emotional, or mental abuse). What gives me worries and stress is when my relatives on my wife's side usually visit and stay. I am not really against this completely but when all they do here everytime they visit is bring their problem in our house, I can't help but be irritated about it. We already have problems of our own to entertain another one.I was hoping someone has a way on properly dealing with irritating relatives. |
| "Understanding Relatives"
Oh well, it is indeed hard to be in the situation you are in. But you know what, we cannot remove the fact of relatives trying to visit us once in awhile. For they will always want to be with us at times.And regarding those relatives of your wife. You two can talk about it and know how to deal with the problem. I am sure that your wife would understand. |
| "A limit to everything"
You already mentioned that everytime they come, all they bring are problems. Let me ask you this, have you dared or tried to share this concern with your wife as her relatives are the one's in question. I think she would understand if she is open enough to accept that you are no longer fine with her relatives. There is a limit to everything, and before you snapped out and things go out of hand, it is better if your wife could remind her relatives their rightful place... as visitors. |
| "Somehow getting there"
She was initially mad at me for opening this to her but she has to know. As soon as she understood the situation (and after two days of not speaking with me) she told me that she would try to talk to them. So far we haven't see a lot of them coming here lately and think my wife did what she must to make this family even happier. I told her that they are still welcome only if they don't come here bringing their problems and asking money all the time. It gets old and irritating in the long run. |
| "Relatives and Issues With Families"
Once we got ourselves into a relationship and start a family, it is so hard to weigh things up. Especially when it concerns relatives and your partner. There will always be those issues around them that makes it even harder to bear. And for me, there is nothing wrong with helping out relatives, for there will come a time that we, ourselves will be needing help too. Unless if they are starting to be a burden. That is another story of course. |
| "Voicing your thoughts"
Speaking as a son to a parents with irritating relatives visiting ever so frequent all I can say is you can't really say anything straight to them. What you can do though is speak to your parents about it, that is if you have an open communications with them. My family is not really that open before, but now that we are all adults now, we now have the rights to voice out our concerns and our parents must eventually hear us out especially if these relatives of ours are getting to our nerves and just being a burden. Eventually the choice is theirs in the end. |
| "People and Their Tiring Ways "
It is so hard to please people, and it would be extra effort for you to actually understand people whom have nothing more good to do than to waste your time fooling around and doing so much nonsense. But one thing that you can do is to try to be yourself and act in accordance to what the situation needs you do act. Look at each problems as challenges to make things way better. |
