[quote=Anonymous]Op, my MIL lives in Europe and is single. When she comes, it's for long stretches as well. I SAH so I deal with her 24/7 and while she isn't outwardly mean or rude, she does have a bit of a temper and is so used to getting her way if I don't do things her way or take her advice she throws fits (like throwing things on the floor, stomping feet, refusing to speak to people, packs her bags and threatens to leave for the airport right away). I have had to set limits with her, and I am not confrontational but I am not afraid of a confrontation if it is necessary. DH agrees she is a pain, and we now limit the visits to 2 weeks MAX. Having Thanksgiving week and then the next could allow you to take the kids to see Santa with her and see some holiday things. we do the week of Christmas and then the next to get NYE and day in with the family. If it makes you feel any better, my friend is from Iran and when her MIL comes it is for 6 month stretches!!!![/quote]
