signed, a DIL[/quote]

OP here. I wasn't "hiding out." After serving a great breakfast, I took a shower while they played, then when the other adults showered and dressed, we made the bed and had playtime.

They've been here for more than a week. I've cooked, we've done activities, we've chatted, we've gotten a sitter and then taken them out to dinner...

How about give us 20 minutes alone, knock, and get off my BED?![/quot

A week is too long for most people.

Is it for you?[/quote]

Yes, a week is far too long for me, but that's the compromise as she wanted to stay for two. She's jealous that my parents stay for long visits; they live 10 hours away, ILs live 4 hours away. We see my parents longer a few tomes a year and ILs for more frequent, shorter visits. It ends up to be roughly the same amount of time.

I wish I could have a drink, reading back over this. But I'm 24 weeks pregnant.[/quote]
