[quote=Anonymous]Do you allow family to visit at any time? Only certain amounts per year? (ie twice yearly). How often do you go to see them?

I feel silly asking how others do it, but I get 3 weeks of leave per year, with vacation and sick time lumped together. With two kiddos now and coming off of maternity leave, its is hard to accrue much time (I was down to zero over maternity leave and am starting from scratch, but can't get to more than a few days saved due to their and my own doc's appts). My parents are in the midwest and DH's are out west. Both sides visited over separate weeks in the winter and both sides have been back in the spring. His mom wants to come back in the summer and he has booked a trip to see them in the fall (I probably won't go because I simply don't have the time, unless I go along, and spend the day time working remotely). I don't want to be ungracious that we have people who want to see us, but it certainly doesn't allow us to take time for ourselves as a family.  Now that there are grandbabies, our families seem to always be ready to book the next trip or have us book to see them.

I understand we can say the words 'we have limited leave', but I'm just wondering what types of schedules (for lack of a better word) work for other families.[/quote]
