[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You let her use the kitchen and you don't say anything about it. It's only a week. DCUM has taught me that guests, especially guests that are family are allowed to do as they please in your home, your personal preferences of tidiness do not matter when you have a vision. It is about THEIR comfort. [b] If you don't agree to this then no one will want to visit you, [/b]While you may not care if MIL visits your DH may like to have visits from his mother, and will just spend more time away from you.[/quote]

It's your kitchen. You don't need someone else to break it in. If you don't want her in the kitchen, she shouldn't be there. If DH wants to spend time with her, there are other ways.

If you don't stand up for what is important to you, you'll just resent everything. Figure out if this is the hill you want to die on, and then get ready to fight and die for it.[/quote]

I posted earlier and since then read posts where inlaws actually rearranged furniture and drawers and even threw away stuff.  That behavior plus a mandated  complete kitchen takeover for days isn't about guest comfort.  Nor is it love language.

Guests that are family are not allowed to do whatever they want in your home or on your property. What's next?  Remove your rose bushes or shrubs?  Trim trees and bushes for their taste as opposed to yours?  Those are compromises DH and I make but we're not doing it for relatives. [/quote]
