Showing hospitality

[lovenotwar149]

A relative have arrived , a cousin 20 years younger than me, who is staying with another member of our family within walking distance from me. I wanted to ask ppl what they thought in terms of how much hospitality needs to be shown etc. Its a 2 wk visit. I have taken them out for dinner once, and also taken them on a long country walk too on a second occasion. They are here for 5 more days. My plan was to call/message the night before they are due to fly home to say farewell. What do ppl think pls?

Maybe ask the family member they are staying with if you could go round there to see the cousin?

It depends on how well you get on with them really, and whether you want to spend time with them or not.

Ok thanks. I guess I am happy to not see them again, we got on very well indeed, but I have other things to get on with too and I wanted to ask if just a call.msg before they depart was polite enough now

The other family member they are staying with might appreciate a night off from hosting them, so you could offer to have them for dinner?

But if you weren’t involved in inviting them and don’t want to see them again, you’re not obliged.

Thanks. No I was not involved in the planning of their stay at all
