[quote=Anonymous]I agree with the person who said when you have flexibility and can stand it be flexible, when life is too hectic make your boundaries clear in a respectful and clear way. If the visit is 1 night, it's easier to bend then if it's a lot longer. I would not let resentment build. There needs to be a calm discussion about expectations. This is why we stay in a hotel visiting relatives. We don't want to cause any stress. We also suggest meeting at restaurants and we pay or we offer to bring food to their home if they prefer. Be prepared that some people cannot accept boundaries even when presented respectfully. DH and his siblings stopped allowing MIL to stay at their home because she was entitled, refused to accept any boundaries and threw a fit whenever anyone set them. Reasonable people can respect boundaries and be polite guests.[/quote]
