To think it’s easy to be hospitable

[Sexnotgender]

When you’re not the one doing the work?

DH said we’ve got different mindsets about hospitality and he’s a throw the doors open type person whereas I’m more reserved.

But if people come to stay the bulk of the work falls to me.

I feel quite hurt actually.

We had something similar.

Long, convoluted preamble....

'Does that mean you've invited him to stay?'

Yes.

'Cool. You'll need to (insert very long list of tasks required to make the spare room habitable, plus additional housework needed that aren't included in the usual division of labour). I'll clean the bathrooms as normal, vacuum and make the bed up once you've cleared your recording equipment guitar shit off it the night before. Or it's a three day weekend, you can get some of it done when you intend to be watching the football and snooker then so you aren't rushing to get it all done on your day off'

Strangely, he's not staying anymore.
