[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP. I feel sad reading these messages. Family should only visit for three days?  I have a 10-year-old, and when I think that down the road I should only visit for three days at a time, I feel sad. My in-laws have stayed with us for a week, a couple weeks, even a couple months. Sure it can be a strain, but we should figure out ways to make longer visits than 3 days possible.

OP, it does sound like your DIL may be feeling spent from the holidays. That’s not anything to do specifically with you.  [/quote]

I like long visits with family but my family actually pitches in and doesn’t expect to be served coffee. [/quote]

This reminds me of my former sister in law who didn't have kids and expected to be served coffee and waited on hand and foot. I was glad when she and my BIL got divorced.[/quote]

OMG I have a sister just like this. She thinks if you are married with kids, you have an easy life with all these others to cater to you. She thinks single life is the hardest and people should wait on her hand and foot. She never hosts things, but is livid if she isn't invited to friends or family for Thanksgiving, etc. She feels the gift is she came to your event and you owe her for coming. She has no clue how much work it is to anything because she is always the martyr victim guest.[/quote]
