    My chithi , son and her daughter family , My perima and her daughter family came for vacation. No males , they were at hometown. chithi and perima are widows but chithi without any help picked up my sons also as all children will enjoy if they are in same place. did train travel.

    it was good and first day they went for shopping whole day.
    Morning tiffin, lunch i prepared and kept and they also helped. dint show or say any concerns all spoke nicely.

    next on sunday , i went to church. I prepared break fast and left with my akka;s daughter.
    My brother (chithi son) went to some college Phd work.

    she said one menu for afternoon also said if it is ok we can eat out as you dont have enough big vessel.
    she kept insisting on that big vessel so i said i will get from my friend house.
    then she said there is no big stove. i said chithi tell me your menu and i can prepare in cooker itself i have large 12 litre, 10 litre cookers and it will be suffiicient. she dint agree for that too.

    so finalized with tomato rice and chicken gravy.

    after coming back from church, my parents also came and saw no work started and she said again vessel issue.
    my dad raised concern that it wont be suitable for children. lets prepare gravy +rasam so that we can eat hereitself.
    and go out in that way we can avoid unnecessary luggages.

    she also said ok and she herself prepared and we helped . rasam and rice dint take much time just we had nice time no issues.
    they dint tel any concern even while eating every one happy and went to guindy park and there her son bought dosa for her to eat.

    she is a vegetarian and gravy was prepared at my sister house and they brought to my home. we had brinjal prepared at my home but someone put in fridge. but when i asked to wait and i will heat it, she said enaku pasiye illa , rasame podhum.


    from this wat i understood while travelling is , she expected to go out and eat, freshly prepared gravy she expected. but this created big conflict.

    what happened is there was a plan after going to beach, we planned to go to other relative house. we went there and they said we can go to hotel.
    she was impressed and she liked there.
    as soon as we came from hotel, she asked every one to stay in their house and chithi, akka, and chithi;s daughter we all came in same cab -they as soon as packed all the stuffs and vacated my house - we were keep on asking her that my children will miss. other children when asked that we also will go with etc... she said then i will not take you back in train..

    my spouse now asking , ivangala nambi than pullaingala kootitu vara sonniya , epdi abrupt a kelambi poranga...

    i felt very bad and till now she dint speak too.

    next morning we had prayer in my sister house , for that also they dint come and my parents got furious. my sister is having small baby 1.5 years old - taking her to guindy park, beach and after that also to relative house should be tough but she dint understand that pain.

    when i asked those children to select the toys , they eagerly went but she dint allow to buy too.

    i dint speak too because abrupt a kelambi ponathu , i also got tensed. enaku pesavum thonala. but pesame irkarathu thappu than .

    Also my sister when talked, she said so many things. she said she wont come down and we have to come down etc.

    Now that my parents are shouting at me , why you asked them to come , if u asked them , atleast you can book some hotel room. actually ours is a rented one but big house only. am surprised at them too.

    from my spouse side , if the same 10 members come, i will do all the work with existing vessels only and we cant put the open stove in rented house.
    we never asked them to stay in hotel because house itself big.

    am worried now.

    My sons expect all relatives should come to our home too.
    so in this vacation i asked who ever i see or spoke to , to visit my home atleast for a day.
    i dont know where is mistake.

    after speaking , my sister says, she is over dominating. whatever , if we are her daughter , will she do the same.
    but my sons were at my spouse's sister place. i made them to come compromised and made them to send etc.
    she only picked them up from that place.

    but too many things happened now i feel bad infront of my spouse and relatives. they are already great ppl :flushed:. so this news will go somehow to them and :facepalm::sob:

    I would be happy if relatives go like that. :cheer:Ha ha. Just kidding. Everyone is welcome to come to my home . But those who aren't comfortable are free to change their plans accordingly and stay wherever they want. Hotel or other relatives house. Why should we worry about it?
    I don't know why you are worried.
    Anyways I feel it's a small thing and you should not worry. Maybe they were not comfortable staying at your place and telling vessel is small is just some "Bahana" meaning they were just finding some reason to not stay.
    This guest list is really big. So it's okay if they felt whatever they felt and decided to leave your place abruptly.

    Rest of the things which you have put is silly like someone putting brinjal in fridge and you said you will heat and give them and she said she is not hungry . Maybe they don't like refrigerated food. You should just ignore.

    See you got it right. Small thing na. Where is the conflict?
    yes wrong on them to have done this . But what can you do about it? You tried your best in persuading them to stay back. But they did not. So it's okay.
    Just laugh about this with your spouse. Nothing offensive here.
    Your chitthi or periamma whoever did this don't deserve good hosts like you or your sister.
    They are right here 100 %. You should not put your energy in entertaining such guests. :)
    Good. You are a wonderful host.
    For what??
    I don't find any mistake on you at all .

    Just ignore their taunt (if at all they taunt . When you say they are already good I am assuming they will not taunt you for whatever this undeserving Chitthi and Periamma did).
    And you need to chill about such small things.

    ya the disappointing moment was, when chithi said and did these things, other persons kept mum. thats the painful moment.

    i was asking her, my sons will feel as all of sudden if no one is there. for that too she dint care.

    Thanks for all your words @Anusha2917 .
    I understood now and i feel bit relaxed

    She being chitthi , elder to you , you can't do much about giving any sort of advice to them. That will make the small problem much bigger.

    Good you understood it now that ignoring is the best thing to do :)

    Hi, did the guests assume that they should do the cooking in your house in your absence. There was no need for them to tell that big vessel or big stove is required to cook for many people if you could easily manage the cooking in the same vessel.

    You could have avoided visiting the church when you have guests at home or could have taken them along. May be they felt you are busy and not able to spend time with them.

    Did they come from far off place. I have some relatives who come to my place to take a break from their kitchen work. Just to sit and relax.

    And burden you with heavy kitchen work load? I understand guests should visit us and we should visit a few. But to keep this mindset is ridiculous . :( I meant their mindset .

    Kwestin: Should we bring a vessel ?

    Foreign living people take vessels out, but very rarely bring them in. At one time, there were international flights going out of south india with close to 20% of passengers taking a wet-grinder in their checked in luggage.

    The OP story seemed like they needed a cruise director -- some supreme overseer and controller of the household to direct and organize everything that went on during the visits of guests.
