[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree to suck it up.  It is just a week and this is what you do for family,[/quote]

Why do WOMEN always have to suck it up for the man's family? :roll: :roll:[/quote]

Becuase it is your DH's family and you willingly married into it.   :shock:

Seems to me that if you love your DH, you would be willing to tolerate his family to an extent.  I think sometimes that SOME DW's do not realize the stress that they put on their DH's in this regard.  Demanding that someone always choose his spouse's convenience over "doing the right thing" by his family is unfair.  This is the main reason DILs and MIL's don't get along.  It isabout ego and control.

Think about how you will feel when your DC gets married.  Will you want your DC in law to think you are such a burden?

With regards to OP, I would have no problem with my DH's sibling staying with us for a few days. DC is not a city where OP would be 100% responsible for entertaining them or even feeding them.  Some time in the evening and some meals is probably most of it. [/quote]
