In laws stay for xmas every year. (Not my choice). We dont get on brilliantly, but I try hard. They usually stay for three days, 2 nights. This year they have invited themselves for xmas again, and want to stay for longer this year as they are miffed that they dont see the grandkids enough. (We are visiting them this weekend to pacify and it 2.5 hr drive each way).
I've asked DH to let them know every year when we will 'be at home to welcome visitors'. But he's not great at it. AIBU to set a time frame, as this is how I cope with them? (I have been pushed to four days previously and was seriously frazzled. I can't make an effort for that long).
I am pregnant with two young children. (DH has two siblings; one abroad, and the other keeps his distance). I am not prepared to do the negotiating for DH as I think they see me as 'the problem'. They have an 'open door policy' for all friends who want to stay, and expect us to do the same. AIBU?
