[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This decision is dependent on your MIL and DH. What does your MIL do all day when you are at work and kids are in daycare or school? Is she self sufficient? As for your DH, what does he do to make this 2-3 week guest feel comfortable? Does he pickup, help with laundry, grocery shop and interact with his mother without you pestering him? I totally understand your hesitation with having guests over sometime. My DH is ALL IN except that he doesn't clean much and will happily grill what you have shopped and marinated. My DH is having some people in next week for MY birthday. Nice thought, but the reality is he will say the powder room is clean enough. I will be screaming " Lift and seat and take a look." [/quote] My DH just throws our money, food and Uber’s at them. Spare no expense, let me go to the office mentality. fil (aspergers) can be pestering the 5 yo daily to no end, DH won’t notice or care. In the ends it rounds us $400/food a week more and all the admissions, dinners out, their taxi fares, gas money doing weekend sightseeing/ day trips or weekend trips and then more if we take days off of work to “make it fun and entertaining for them.” They def get a $1000-2000 vacation out of it.
