I think it depends on the person as to how much they really want to know about your daily life. Some are more comfortable with their memory of who you were rather than how you have changed.

They can visit for a short time, AND THEN GO HOME. I think days of enforced togetherness tests almost any family bond, unless ll can agree to some down time where doing nothing is okay.

It sounds like you offered the perfect blend of activities. In hindsight, I often think that we didn’t offer enough of a glimpse into our real lives, the places and things we actually do, for the visitors. But with that, I’m assuming that they really want to KNOW US, not just have a place to sleep.
