[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you can be inclusive without being in "host mode". To me, visiting family means you get the family experience-- the mess, the noise, the chicken nuggets, everything. You can be warm and caring to her without feeling like you have to treat her as a non-family guest, you know? And that also means asking her to help with chores. It's okay for her to learn the life lesson about overstaying your welcome, that showing up as an uninvited guest produces awkwardness and stresses out your host. I would get your father alone and ask him very seriously when she will be leaving. Tell him that you cannot host two people for longer than X date. [b]Yes it's awkward and feels rude, but really he's the rude one for springing this on you.[/b] He probably didn't ask for the full duration because he was afraid you would say no.[/quote] A.k.a. "return awkward to sender." :)[/quote]
