[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's not reasonable for her to expect to be waited on. It's not reasonable for you to expect that she would be lightening your load while she's there. [b]Guests do not lighten the load. They add to it[/b].[/quote] Agreed, but a good guest is cognizant of this fact and will behave accordingly - offering to help clean up after dinner, stripping the sheets off the bed and putting them in front of the washer before they leave, etc. And the younger the kids in the household, the more helpful a guest should be, I think. Why my parents or DH's parents come to visit, we emphasize that we're excited to have them come, but our lives are very crazy and we need help with X to make sure that the visit goes smoothly. If they can't or aren't willing to do this, they need to stay at a hotel. [/quote]
