My husband's father and step-mother are coming from overseas to stay with us in a few months' time. I don't know how long they plan to stay (not too long I hope), but last time they stayed with us for 6 weeks and I must admit it was too long. I hardly knew them so that didn't help, but all they wanted to do was sit around - they didn't want to drive anywhere, or even get on a bus or train or do any sight-seeing. It got quite tedious and I'm a bit nervous about how it will go this time... I'm now a stay-at-home mum and my son will be two years old when they get here (that's a handful in itself). I'm also studying so I will have to commit quite a bit of time to that. Basically I'm just not looking forward to the tension of having long-term guests in the house with everything else that I need to do. For my husband's sake I want to make an effort to be positive about it, but I'm dreading it a bit. I just needed to vent my apprehensions about this... any helpful advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
