[quote=Anonymous]It is foolish to have any expectation of privacy when you have parents or any relatives or friends living with you for a couple of months.  They are now a part of your family for these two months - they will know that the toilet got blocked and DD failed her Algebra test and that you and DH got into a squabble.

The thing for you and your DH to understand now is that if they are in their 60s and visiting for only a couple of months (I am assuming that they are overseas visitors)...then you bite your tongue and let it slide.

Modify your behaviour to not argue in front of them - the rest of the things they are witnessing is normal part of family.

You and DH need to go for a small drive or walk every evening to resolve your issues outside of their earshot. Also, you and DH need to be very polite and pleasant to each other for the next two months.

I am sure your parents get distressed when you and DH argue in front of them. It is awkward and uncomfortable for them and I am sure it is also very worrying to them.[/quote]
