[quote=Anonymous]OP, I so hear you when you say you need privacy and control over your environment.  I am exactly the same way, and I get grouchy after even a few days of houseguests. I can't imagine three weeks, even of people I love.

Leaving the house, going for walks, to the gym, etc., wouldn't really solve the problem for me because that's not the same as privacy in my own house, with my own family.

It seems like the problem is that your DH just thinks you're being a jerk, and doesn't get that this just tries your emotional limits.  You explained it clearly here - is there any way you can get through to him so he really understands?  That you would love to have his mom here for three weeks, but that you emotionally just don't have the reserves or the personality to do it?  That even though you love having her around, without enough private, quiet time with your nuclear family, it takes too much of a toll on you?

Good luck.  It's hard being an introvert among extroverts. [/quote]
