[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why was this not ascertained before the visit? No way would I ever agree to an open-ended visit.[/quote]

I wanted to and asked before the trip and they said they will determine this once they got here.  When my cousin's wife was here last time without her son she was very nice and had booked the return trip before coming over.  This time both she and her son seem off.[/quote]

My guess would be they are not planning to go home. They are probably staying in your home until you kick them out. Once you do, they will find other family to stay with and the cycle will continue [/quote]

OP here...my cousin's wife is going back to their home country on January 14th.  Their son goes back to college on January 15th.  I thought they would just be here for the week and leave.  However, I did not expect the son to be so spoiled.  My other cousin is taking them out today so at least we get some relief today.  I think most of this is a cultural thing where this is common in their home country. I came to the US when I was six so I am not used to this type of behavior.[/quote]

Sounds like you've got them until January 14th/15th unless you say something to them.

Your cousin's wife must have thought that you understood that they would be staying that long.  Initially you mentioned a one way ticket, now you are saying she is planning on returning to her country on the 14th and that her son's school starts back up on the 15th.  Tell them they need to go stay with your other cousin for a while.
