[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]My dad called and informed me this was the plan.  Fine with me.  My father will be flying in [b]from Asia[/b].  He will be spending his time in the US staying with relatives and friends.  My mother passed away this year very unexpectedly.  They had been married for 50 yrs.  Very happy he's coming and my brothers and their families too.[/quote]

Ah!  That explains it.  You're Asian.   Yeah, we've seen a lot of posts from people with Asian ILs - often DILs (but sometimes DDs) who are fed up with their ILs meddling and intrusiveness.  You need to realize that not everyone feels as you do.  That doesn't make it wrong, it just makes it different.  You need to respect other people's feelings especially when it comes to their homes - a [wo]man's home is her castle.  Even relatives need to be sensitive to that.[/quote]

My DH is not Asian but willing to put up with the inconvenience and my relatives in his castle.  It's only a week and he's always a perfect gentleman and gracious host especially to recently widowed old people who want to be with family for comfort.[/quote]
