[quote=Anonymous]My SIL lives overseas.  She is single with no kids, never been married.  She is well off and has plenty of money.  She asked if she could stay with us for a "few weeks" including my MIL so that she can have knee surgery in the states.  She wants MIL there to help take care of her.  DH and I have crazy, hectic lives. He travels frequently for work. I work full time from home and have 2 kids, ages 6 and 9.  When SIL and MIL visit, the kids are intense. They want to spend every second with them and sleep with them at night.  My parents are already coming for a week in May.  If I have to have back to back visitors for an entire month (or likely longer) when the kids are in school, I might literally lose my mind. It will be so disruptive and the kids will never go to sleep at night. I told DH this is an unreasonable request.  She has money and can rent a place for a month if having the surgery in the US is that important. Having to go to sleep and wake up with people in my house everyday just takes its toll on me.  We have a large house but I don't think this means I have to offer it anytime someone wants it.  Am I being unreasonable? How would you handle it?[/quote]
