[quote=Anonymous]1. Your mother and MILs phone relationship is theirs to sort out; ignore it entirely, it’s not possible for it to be rude to you.

2. Not being able to help much/expecting to be looked after is pretty common in 80-year-olds even in good health and tbh they’ve generally earned it.  But that doesn’t mean it’s not a ton of work to host them!  Give yourself space to be exhausted and cranky about having to host a guest who needs a lot of hosting (and was sick for a week further taxing your hostess duties!); you can love your MIL and be cranky and exhausted about hosting duties.

3. Does your husband often go on long business trips?  How much notice did he get for this one?  I think it was silly of him to schedule the trip and visit and the same time and you should talk to him about that — his mother sounds like she really wants to see him so he should try to be home when she’s there.

(But seriously, OP.  You’re okay to be stressed!  Hosting in laws (or anyone) for months at a time is exhausting, even without all the other compounding factors.)[/quote]
