[quote=Anonymous]MIL lives across the country and visits once per year for 10-14 days. The visit is stressful - it is always while the kids are in school and dh and I are working so we don't see her much and get a ton of guilt. I have repeatedly suggested to her that she could actually see all of us more if she came twice a year for about 5 days each (holiday weekends extended by a couple of days), but she always declines with an invented reason (her job son't let her take off a half week, she couldn't find flights near the dates I suggest, etc). The cost of two flights is no problem for her. Any ideas of how I can more forcefully broach this with her? I do think a couple of shorter visits would be more pleasant for all and we would actually see her more. [/quote]
