[quote=Anonymous]No advice, but I have a similar experience. Except it's my family! They all live overseas. When my retired parents visit, it needs to be at least 6 weeks because "what's the point travelling all the way otherwise?" When my siblings visit, it's still two weeks minimum. By contrast, spouse's parents are local. One of them has tough dietary preferences, but it's easier to accommodate when it's dinner 1x/ month than several weeks straight of meal planning etc. Spouse's siblings are within a 3 hour drive - we do weekend visits a few times a year and it's easy as well. I've realized that it's possible to love my family, but also normal to wish their visits were shorter. They take too much out of me![/quote]
