[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Re-write your post from the perspective of your parents. Then from the perspective of your sister.

Do you have any more patience and compassion and gratitude now?[/quote]

NOT the OP, a PP, but.... no, I wouldn't and here's why:

parents insist their kids come
then they complain and run the house "my way or the highway" (eat early, quiet time with multiple young children for 4 hours!)
they can't all fit in the car but they REQUIRE others to pay for the taxi so they can come
they talk about their health all the time
the SIL obsesses about them to the exclusion of all else
and some other shit I forget.

I would go for ONE WEEK.  I would also plan an excursion on day 2 and 4 at least (or more if you insist on staying all 14 days.  Arrive Sunday, plan excursion for Tuesday afternoon (that way they "get you" all of Monday),  then go to the beach/be available on Wednesday, and then Thursday plan an all-day excursion and Friday an afternoon one (since it's quiet hours anyway, who cares????)  Then you have dinner each night in town (or cook at home a few nights, which I would totally do), and leave bright and early Saturday morning to "beat the traffic."  As in, as soon as the LO woke up, I'd be in it, driving home.  Pack the night before after LO goes to bed.

How old are all the kids involved, your's and SIL/BIL?[/quote]
