[quote=Anonymous]Wow OP!  I can't imagine how my DH felt when my parents were here living with us for 10 months!  We had twins and one had problems (fine now) -- we needed the help. My DH had to get back to work so my mother helped with night time feedings.  My dad did work that needed to be done around the house.  We had just moved in and I was on bedrest so my parents set  up my house.

My husband's parents (divorced) live out west so when they come visit they are here for a minimum of 10 days, his mom is usually here for 3 weeks.

I don't mind as I just continue on about my day. Yes it gets tiresome, but both my mother and his mother love to cook they at least I don't have to worry about dinners, etc, all I have to do is make sure the fridge and pantry are stocked with ingredients.

I think it's all a matter of getting used to it and making the best of it.  Do as a PP said go out with your girlfriends one night or do a spa day ...... I do that when my MIL is in town. I also have my mother and MIL watch the kids and my DH and I go to dinner which then we can go to a nicer restaurant since we are not paying a sitter.  Look at the positive side.  [/quote]
