[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My parents and ILs live overseas. Their visit is usually several months long. While it does increase some work for me - my mom and [b]MIL are pretty good about picking up the slack around the house[/b]. I usually increase the frequency of the maid service to twice a week for the duration of the stay. My kids really enjoy having grandparents around, because they get doted on by all 4 of them. I am sure when I was newly married I used to get stressed when people visited, but now I feel like an old hand. However, they never come without discussing with us, when it would be convenient for them and for us to have them here. [/quote] lucky you! my mil expects everyone to wait on her hand and foot when she is in town. she has never lifted a finger to cook a meal or even initiate a take out order. she sits and everyone else around her is supposed to tend to her needs. she even gives my dh a shopping list for her visit. and you better believe she's not contributing a penny towards that or anything else.[/quote]
