Far and long separated from our own relatives often make us miss each other. Various ways have been chosen to fulfill this longing. Starting from meeting at the weekend, vacationing together, even staying overnight. Well, staying either outside or at the house of one of the relatives is the most satisfying choice. Why? Because we are free to chat all day, all night, and most importantly, the most comfortable place is our own home.

But, even if you are a brother, the ethics of staying still must be carried out. You don't want to fight with your own sibling or partner just because we are rude when you visit their house? Here are some things you should do while staying at a relative's house.

+ Notify in advance before staying

Unless there is something very urgent and you really need a place to stay, remember to inform your relatives before visiting, okay? This is so that your sibling can prepare a room or extra bed for you and prepare for your arrival as well as possible. After a tiring journey, it's best to take a break right away.

+ Help clean the house. Minimum room you occupy

Before you came, your brother must have cleaned every corner of the room and house so that you are also comfortable while staying. So, help him by keeping it clean. No need to go crazy, borrow brooms, mops, and washcloths and then scrub every corner. Help make the bed, fold, and arrange blankets and bedding, then sweep the hair that falls out, and throw the trash in its place, these little things are also very helpful.

+ Chat with your roommate or small family

Don't just hide in the room. Be a good guest, get to know each member who lives under the same roof with your brother. If you come all the way to stay but are alone in your room, it's better not to stay overnight. Video call or just call.

+ Say hello and if you want to go home don't forget to say goodbye

This is the basic of the most basic etiquette. Greet family members when they arrive, greet them in the morning or meet them for the first time that day, invite them to eat together, and say goodbye when they leave the house. You are a human too, who has an existence on this earth. Not the wind that can go in and out as you please.

+ Most importantly! Tell me how long you will be staying

Seems trivial, but is often forgotten. Everyone likes it when relatives or guests come to stay and feel at home. However, hosts also have other needs either outside or they need to leave the house. As the host, your brother was reluctant to evict these guests.

So let the host know when you're coming and going, so they can schedule and adjust your arrival. It's not that you can't stay as you please, but the host also has a small family that needs our attention. You have your family too. Don't because of your family problems and run away to your relatives' house and don't come home.
