They are staying with us for 5 weeks. DH works full-time, I work 3 days a week. The 2 days I'm off I find really awkward and exhausting. PILs are lovely but we don't speak the same language so lots of guesswork and miscommunications. I've taken them out sightseeing but they didn't seem to enjoy it and there were lots of awkward silences.
For the rest of the visit I'd like to work full-time (hours can always be increased) but DH is against this, he wants me to be available those days to take PILs out and about and spend time with them. I feel they'd be happier having time to themselves or with our 1-year-old DD without me there (she has a full time nursery place so they don't have to provide childcare, they can take her out of nursery if they want or take her out for part of the day, or leave her in nursery if they prefer).
What do you think? AIBU? We'd still have family weekends. DH can't take time off and keeps saying 'is it too much to ask of you to spend 2 days a week with my parents'?
