[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]\My DH is the passive baby of the family and doesn't care when, if, and how long his family stays. \[/quote] So he's in charge of planning meals for the additional days. Assign them tasks for meal prep or cleanup. With a longer visit, you don't need to be together 24 hours a day, so it's fine to disappear into your room. If you need peace and quiet on Saturday, have your DH plan an outing with the young kid(s) and the adults other than you. If they start talking politics, have your husband say you'd like Thanksgiving weekend to be a politics-free zone. If they continue, insist: "Mom, I've asked that we not get into a discussion of politics this weekend. We get enough of that in our daily lives here in DC." If they criticize your parents, have your husband say, "Mom, we've got this." Or, "our doctor agrees that this plan is best."[/quote]
