[quote=Anonymous]My ILs expect to be sitting in the same room, talking, every moment of every day—and they stay as overnight guests, not a few hours. My tween has started to notice and dread their visits, because even going to the bathroom leads to loud exclamations of “WHERE’S LARLA?” I have told both my kids they can go to their room to read or rest, that they only need to be “on” during arrival, meal times, playing a game, or other “visiting” times during the day. They do not need to sit and stare just because that’s what certain people expect. I’ve told DH that if he wants to meet their dawn-til-11pm face-to-face expectations, *he* is free to do so. The rest of us need breaks during multi-day visits. [/quote]
