Parents preferred

Many people don’t like visits from parents-in-law

Visits from parents-in-law or superiors are not welcome in Austria. This is the conclusion of a survey conducted by ImmoScout24.at, in which around 500 people aged 18 and over took part.

Only three percent of those surveyed would be happy to receive a visit from their superiors in their own four walls. Parents-in-law fared comparatively better at 16 percent. More than one in two people would be happy to receive a visit from their mother, and four out of ten respondents would be happy to receive a visit from their father.

Children more popular than four-legged friends
In general, only a few people are happy to have their own four walls. The greatest joy is found among friends. Seven out of ten respondents like to receive people from their circle of friends, with women (75 percent) slightly more likely than men (66 percent).

According to the survey, those who would like to bring a companion with them are advised to come with children rather than dogs. Guests with children are welcomed by four out of ten respondents, dogs by only one in three.
