My husband's relatives travel here often from Russia, and they are really nice people for the most part. However, in Russia you are supposed to treat your guests like visiting royalty. Guests should never lift a hand to help out, while here you expect to help out your host ot at least to offer. Some of the girls and women are the worst. You would think that after visiting a month, it might be nice to help out a bit in the kitchen, without being asked, especially when people are getting up early to cook nice food for you.
I feel like some of them are making a conscious choice to try to impose their own cultural ways on me.
