[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 19492, member: 84"] You didn't state how dependant mother in law is for "company". If she's used to living alone, then I'd say she's probably feeling pretty much the way you and husband are feeling. Crowded. She'd probably not mind at all if husband, or even you and husband, took an evening to yourselves. It would give her a chance to let down her hair while you're away, too. mother in law is probably ready for a break from the ongoing "visit" too. Does mother in law get around well? How about to ease husband into some time to himself you volunteer to take mother in law window shopping or maybe a movie? Call it a girl's outting so he hasn't much choice to stay at home. lol [img]:wink:[/img] husband has no reason not to have time to himself. It's not like it's a short visit. My Mom used to do the long visits. I'm not sure who they were more stressful on, me or husband. (he got the lousy mother in law, I got the saint lol ) But once I got dear ol' Mom to realize she had no choice but to treat me as an adult, things relaxed alot. And there were issues between my Mom and me that I had to finally grow up and face the fact that we'd never come to an agreement on them, and then let them go. (that helped TONS) Now Mom can come and we pretty much have a fun visit. I actually think it's a shame she can't do the longer visits anymore. Although lately she's been hinting she'll need family to live with in the near future..... I just let her talk and keep my big mouth shut. [img]:grin:[/img] Cuz although we get along now, I know we can never live together again. [img]:smile:[/img] [/QUOTE]
