[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. We enjoy having her stay with us. It's not a big deal and she's in a tough situation. I'm just falling short on reasons why we don't want more people. All the reasons sound trite and like I'm completely annoyed by them, which isn't true.[b] I just have a lot of stress in my life and like my nice, quiet home[/b]. [/quote]

Um that's a very good reason not to have houseguests for 3 weeks at a time, multiple times a year.  If it were a once in a year visit, I'd suck it up.  But it's not that...and it also doesn't seem like they are really there to see you.  My extended family lives in India, so long visits aren't uncommon.  But the purpose is to see the people we are visiting (or for them to come see us), and the visits occur once every few years...I think if it were more frequent or we/they felt more like hoteliers than family, it wouldn't work for our family either.  And extended family visits is basically the cornerstone of Indian family life!![/quote]
