[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  I would be fine if they were coming for a week.  I could manage 2 different one week visits.  We are talking multiple weeks, likely a month (maybe longer) because of surgery.  The kids react very differently with MIL and SIL which is why it is so disruptive.  My kids will not accept that they can't sleep with them and I'm sure that MIL would complain too. I would have a month where every single night is a struggle to get them to go to bed and they wake up super early. They won't listen to their parents and behave crazy when MIL and SIL are here. We lose all structure and routine. I also personally don't like having guests for more than a week. I would not have my own family visit for more than a week.

One of my kids is having issues at school which also makes the timing of this really bad. It has been incredibly stressful and the thought of a month of visitors gives me complete anxiety. I told SIL that June would be much better but she insists on May.

This is not the first time this has happened. They have overstayed their welcome on a number of occasions and they are aware this is an issue for me. [/quote]

Tell your husband the answer is no and he needs to communicate it.

I would offer a compromise of 2 weeks after school is out, but that there is no way you can have long-term houseguests while the kids are in school.[/quote]
