[quote=Anonymous]OP I think that you need to stand your ground. Two weeks when you also travel to visit her for another 10 days every year is plenty of time. She should not be able to unilaterally decide to invite herself for 3 weeks now. What happens next year when she decides to invite herself for 4 weeks?

This is not analogous with someone who is traveling from Asia and only does it every few years AND where the family in the US only travels there every few years. This is Europe and MIL is already getting visits at least twice a year.

Heck, a flight to CA is longer than a flight to London. A direct flight to Paris or Germany is faster than most connecting flights to CA. If you posted that MIL was in CA and announced she was going to stay with you for three weeks I guarantee you that posters (other than the pushy grandmas) would be saying to lock the doors and not give in to this rudeness. The people pushing back from their experience with asian in laws are comparing completely different situations. [/quote]
