[quote=Anonymous]What are some of your specific problems and concerns? We can't help you with strategies/sympathy unless we know what's going on. In any case, a few general thoughts: 1) Send them out of the house/you get out of the house yourself as much as you can 2) Have some things they can "help" with at the ready so that they don't bug you with the stuff you definitely don't want help with 3) Set everything out/get everything ready you can so they don't need to ask for things or bother you--have the coffee pre-set to be made by whatever time they get up, set out cereal/bowls/muffins the night before. Have sheets on the beds, towels in their room, WiFi password printed out for them. Have some newspapers and magazines around 4) If they ask for something unreasonable, either say no or have your spouse attend to them 5) If they say something that offends or irks you, just blandly smile and steer the conversation elsewhere[/quote]
