For various reasons DH and I have very recently moved back to his hometown in a rental house. We are now much closer to the majority of his family and friends. Our previous house wasn’t really near anyone so we had little to no visitors at all.
I love his family and friends so I am very happy to have them over and also happy to visit their houses. I understand people want to see where we live but our downstairs consists of a nice lounge, a downstairs bathroom, a kitchen and a dining room. There’s plenty of room and no need for anyone to go upstairs. I keep finding people coming over and wanting a tour of the house and I’ve had to call them down from the stairs several times as I don’t see why they need to go up there. We are still unpacking so upstairs consists of loads of boxes and literally just bedrooms. Am I being really weird about this? I just don’t understand why they want a guided tour of the bedrooms. We don’t own the house, we haven’t done it up so we have nothing to show off up and there’s no reason for them to be up there.
They come down when I call them but I definitely get some eye rolls and several times I’ve been asked if they can see upstairs. I’m happy to be told I’m being unreasonable here and maybe a bit precious but I just don’t see why they need to be up there, especially when we have a downstairs bathroom! I certainly don’t expect a guided tour of the upstairs of someone’s house when I go to visit!
