[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, thanks for the replies.

The long visit is nothing new for me/us.  She comes every year, but usually for only 2 weeks since I had managed to make that a compromise visit length in previous years.  We also visit her every year, usually for around 10 days.  And for those who implied that I was depriving her of her grandchildren, I forgot to mention that my husband and our daughter just returned THIS WEEK from visiting her for 9 days.

<b>Part of what is bugging me is that this new, longer visit seems like backing out on a prior understanding that 2 weeks was the max I could handle while remaining good natured about it and without taking a toll on my marriage, our work lives, our kids' routines, etc. </b> Personally, I would prefer 1 week twice per year but, given the international travel, had made my peace with 2 week visits instead.  I also resent the pretense of being "asked" if the three weeks is OK, when really we are being told it will happen.[/quote]

Ah, well now if this is the issue, then it is the issue between you and DH. What is his argument for changing the arrangement?[/quote]
