[quote=Anonymous]Oh hell no. Most people who have parents/ in law IN THE SAME COUNTRY do not spend 29 days a year visiting each other. Not even close. I agree with the poster from France that this is NOT a European or cultural thing. OP's MIL is bored and has time on her hands. OP's MIL is also rude and does not respect boundaries by announcing that she is staying longer. So rude. Part of having children is letting them go when they become adults. For many women, retirement and empty nesting can be boring. All of sudden they have all this time on their hands and nothing to do. There is no one to care for or control. Rather than find fulfillment on their own they decide to inject themselves back into their adult children's lives on their terms without any regard for healthy boundaries. Do not let her use living in Europe as a smoke screen to impose herself on your family. [/quote]
