[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] The problem is, it isn't just the sight-seeing. Set aside the whole idea of boundaries and coming when she isn't wanted. Is OP now on the hook to prepare meals and make chit chat? Maybe when DH is out of town OP goes to the gym and curls up in bed with a glass of wine and a good book every night. Or uses that time to work on a favorite hobby or see friends. Or cleans the house naked. Or whatever. Does she have to give all of that up in order to be a good hostess? The problem is that she either has to be completely rude in return, basically going about her life and ignoring MIL, or she has to be very disrupted and accommodating because there's another person in her home.
