oh well... i m a really freedom lover and never take my privacy for granted so i dun like havin guests over at random times or without informing me atleast 2 hours before they come (so i can atleast clean up the mess i in the living room...hehehe) i like to throw a family party atleast 1 time in a year and maximum 2 or 3 where my parents, husband's 2 mamo's and mami's etc are there. i have a gud excuse of working and leading a busy lifestyle so ppl dun create problems. plus the mami who lives close to me doesnt come at my place that often.... maybe once in 3 months or so. but ive noticed i take ALOT of pressure infrnt of my hubby's mamo's and mami's cus they both have total of 7 children and i hate the fact that theyre running around like crazy in my house, switching off the lights and switchin on tube lights (GRRRRRRRR.... I hate anyone touching my lights, its my bloody house, u shudnt be doin that!!!!) so i m under alot of pressure and most of the time i m grumbling and mincing my teeth at the stuff they do at my place. havin said that, i have also enjoyed cooking for my cousin or BIL if they come over. maximum ive had is my BIL for 2-3 months i think... but that is only cus he was a carefree type, minded his own business and didnt demand time from my hubby(unlike his parents and other brother!!!) so i think it totally depends on the person whos comin over.
