How long do you stay with out of town fam

We stay about 5 to 6 days. Usually take a day trip with just our family around day 3 so we're gone a whole day. It helps that we have our separate space and bathroom. I bring several oven ready meals and we take everyone to dinner so the hosts doesn't have to cook much.

3 days is plenty for siblings unless it's a big vacation house like Delaware beach.

A week is OK for empty nest grandparents.

As a kid, my cousins and I (ten of us to three different siblings, same grandparents) used to spend 10 days to 2 weeks together over school breaks because that's the only time we could get together. The bright side of this, the 10 of us range from 52 - 66 and are still close today (as are our kids - there are even a couple of grandkids now).

OP, if YOU need a break, step out for a spa day, or have to race back early for work, or meet another friend for 2 days in the middle, but let your husband enjoy time with his brother and let the cousins become friends

Is the relationship between your mom and her sister? Because those cousins tend to be closest imo… hanging out for a week.

Different story if it’s your BIL and his wife.

I agree.

We travel also for the holidays. This is the first time we are staying at a hotel. It’s nice to get some quiet time in the morning and at the end of the day. And hopefully it’s a bit easier on our hosts.

We usually did a week. We set up patterns of various things to do and that helps give structure to the time.

Friday late afternoon arrival and very early Monday departure.
