[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - these are helpful replies.  She lives about a 3 hour flight away, but she doesn't love to travel and so she likes the longer visits.  I guess part of my confusion is why she would WANT to stay in our house for longer than 2 days - doesn't she want her own space?

I think the best strategy is to make plans with friends the nights she is there - maybe even something as indulgent as seeing a movie by myself!  And I like the suggestion above of just going upstairs after dinner and "getting ready for tomorrow."  [/quote]

OP, she "wants" to spend more than 2 days at your house because you are her family, and she is visiting you.  Is that really a mystery?  My IL's come to stay with us for 4-5 days at a time 2-3 times a year.  I've had situations where I needed my own time, which was achieved by going for a walk, taking a long bath, "going to bed" early so I could read, etc.  [/quote]

Yes I love putting my life and projects on hold and going up to my room each night while everyone else uses everything they see in my house. Like being sex-iled in college, YOU have to change your behavior for someone in your rooms.[/quote]
