[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That stinks but is there a way you could accommodate a little? She could do some sightseeing solo-hoho bus for example. You could also go to see some things like the monuments in the evenings after work. [/quote]

You are asking a woman to accommodate unreasonable, immature, boundary-stomping, disrespectful behavior “a little.” You are suggesting that OP open her home to a woman who was told it was not a good time to visit, you are asking OP to ignore her own work schedule and energy levels “a little,” not because MIL is sick or is in town for some other reason, but simply because MIL is behaving in a selfish, immature, unreasonable, boundary-stomping way. You are telling OP and OP alone to “accommodate a little,” with no mention of what OP’s husband should be doing. After all, OP is a woman and DH is a man, so even DH’s family is OP’s to manage, right?

Why are you doing this?

When someone violates clearly and calmly stated boundaries about one’s own time, own house, own work schedule, and own capacity, why is your advice, “Give in to unreasonable demands?”

Why are you acting like women again, some more, need to bend and kowtow to bad behavior by ILs or family members? Haven’t we done that enough?[/quote]
