[quote=Anonymous]DW’s parents like to come visit, which is great.  However, when they do, they will stay at our house for 10-12 days.  This isn’t a problem per se.  I like them well enough, but the issue is that when they stay for so long, there is invariably some point where DW and I end up in a significant fight.  I have expressed to her that, while I like her parents, having guests for such a long period disrupts the normal functioning of our house and results in strife.  She now claims that I don’t like her family, and that I am trying to keep them away.  Is it really unreasonable to think that having guests for 10-12 days at a time can create issues?

Separately, she’s constantly trying to invite her friends to stay at our home when they come to town.  I don’t necessarily have an issue, but I also don’t like that so much.  We are mid-40s with a kid.  I am sort of over the idea of having friends stay at our house when they come to town.  Feels like the sort of thing you do in your 20s.  She also thinks that I hate her friends because of that.  Am I being unreasonable?[/quote]
