Birthdays, engagement and wedding dates, a first kiss or trip... The list can be infinite. Studies show that we sometimes even forget those things that we try hard to keep in mind. And, by the way, a perfect memory doesn’t exist.
“I forgot our wedding day almost immediately and didn’t congratulate my wife. She was a little bit upset. Now, 6 years later, she also forgets the date. We remember it only when our relatives call us.”

Many couples don’t even try to remember every significant date. Those who find a date really important prefer to talk about the date in advance and don’t stay silent, waiting for a present.
Everyone has the right to live in comfort and shouldn’t have to feel guilty. There are lots of hotels, hostels, and apartments out there that your relatives can rent.
“When I bought a small apartment, a huge amount of relatives who wanted to live with me ‘for a while’ appeared! Then my husband and I bought a 3 bedroom apartment, since it was impossible to live in my apartment with a baby. So we decided to rent the other one out to have money to pay off the loan for our new home. As a result: in our relatives’ eyes, we were ’greedy cheapskates.’”

Everyone is happy to welcome guests. But sometimes “for a while” can turn into “years” and you have to tolerate your relatives with all their habits and traits. To avoid any arguments, it’s better to let them know you have certain rules, and your relatives should understand that they’ll have to eventually find their own apartment if they want to stay long term.
