[quote=Anonymous] We cross the Atlantic once a year, at most, to visit parents. We stay 2 weeks, otherwise with jet lag and price of plane tickets, it doesn't make any sense. If your MIL lives on the West coast, she woul dbe in a similar situation, and I understand that she would need 2 weeks to have a proper vacation. OP, we all accommodate family as best we can. Personally, I can't stand to be with my mother for that long. But I still do, because of all the reasons mentioned above. I think your present arrangement is a great one, because your work allows you do NOT be with MIL every second of the day! And then when you get home, and on weekends, you use your fatigue from work as an excuse to not run round catering to every whim. If you lay down boundaries, she will be able to decide whether it's worth it to change her visits. [/quote]
