6weeks too long?

Need some advice as me & dh have been arguing.
He has a family member from abroad who’s come to stay with us & all they did was call and say they are coming to visit & would like to stay with us (didn’t ask, just told dh). We of course thought okay that’s fine will probably be 2weeks. I told hubby I can’t deal with any longer than 2weeks.
We’ve got 2 young kids (4, 1). We found out on Christmas that they are returning after a total of 6weeks. Isn’t that too long for someone to put them up?
They want breakfast made, tea made for them first thing in the morning which I am doing as dh has work & im a stay at home mum. Also there sleeping on the sofa. Today I drew the line as I’m quiet frustrated by it all (it’s been 10days so far) and told dh he needs to send him either to mil’s house or they need to go back. I have a life and I can’t deal with having to run around them first thing in the morning and then to sort my kids out.
Also it’s not just a cup of tea from the kettle, they like it to be boiled on the cooker for 10minutes!

Am I being unreasonable?

You are not being at all unreasonable. This would drive me crazy

I know its too late now, but in the future, you and your DH need to remember to query how long guests would be staying. 6 weeks for anything longer than my own children would be ridiculous - I would never think to impose that long.

A cup of tea in the morning is nice as you are making your own but you aren't running a B&B! Are they contributing all to chores or food bill?

curious we made that mistake this time & defiently learnt from it! He didn’t contribute no. I made tea & breakfast every morning for him along with dinner too. It felt like a lifetime but I’m so glad he’s gone back & we will be 1 step ahead next time Grin
