Touchy relatives

I love all my relatives, but only from a distance. For some reason, none of them respect personal boundaries.

There were several cases when they violated these boundaries. My dear aunt decided to come visit me and my husband. We just got married, she called that she was passing through and would stop by to see us. How can I refuse? My husband was unhappy that the weekend was ruined, but I persuaded him, it’s inconvenient thatmom will say.

And so I cook from the very morning to treat my aunt, so that later she won’t judge me among my relatives. My husband is still sleeping, my aunt calls and tells me to come to the station and meet her. I said I was busy and that she could take a taxi. Then she started shouting at me that I didn’t respect her, that shemy daughter would never do that. I told her not to come to me, I don’t want to see her. We still don't communicate.

Another incident happened with my mother-in-law. She decided that she could come to us whenever she wanted. We live a five-minute walk from each other. It was especially annoying whenmother test-antibiotic.comhusband appeared on a day off in the morning so that togetherdrink coffee . She even baked a cake or pie for this. I did not appreciate her efforts and, without any hints, said directly that on the day off we wanted to sleep longer and relax, and not receive guests.

She’s offended and communicates only with her husband. And I feel even better.
