[quote=Anonymous]Say no now! Not only will it be hell but you’ll set a precedent that she can just announce when she’s coming and ignore not being invited. You also will have established that she can stay as long as two weeks which is way too long. By saying you can’t take PTO now, she’ll interpret this to mean as soon as you get PTO it’s basically hers.

It will be a thousand times worse when/if you have kids. Establish an adult relationship now. She comes only when she is invited. She can not expect you to use most of your PTO on entertaining her. There will never be a two week sightseeing trip.

I also seriously doubt that when your DH was a bachelor that he was burning through PTO hosting and sightseeing/shopping with his mom for two weeks. She’s got it in her mind that now that he is married she has a DIL to host her and cater to her because you don’t have anything better to do being a woman and all. You girls can be sightseeing and shopping buddies while the man works the real job. [/quote]
