Is anybody else on here feeling stressed about Christmas and having relatives coming to your house?
Since the pandemic we are even more uncomfortable than we were before (and we were never keen to put it mildly) with having people come into our home - especially in the winter when there’s lots of viruses around. Two people in our household are more vulnerable to infections and that’s a factor, but we also find it really hard to relax with anyone visiting and our house is very small so it’s all a bit crowded with even one or two visitors.
The thing is we have a family member who we love dearly who wants to come and stay, but the thought of it is causing me so much stress. However I don’t want to hurt their feelings or be unwelcoming. But I’m just so stressed about it that I’m starting to feel quite ill over it. I don’t know what to do.
Is anybody else struggling with this?
And anyone have any good advice to share about how to handle this situation?
thanks :)
