Barbigirl said:Dani,
Maybe if she is such a neat freak you can give her a list of spring cleaning, organizing and cooking. Tell her you don't want her to be bored and you can just take a break for the week and play with your daughter.
Not really a reasonable suggestion but maybe something to daydream about.

Also, we live in a tiny house so if anyone came to stay, they'd have to be in the dank creepy basement or on the living room floor.
Also, I don't understand why anyone would want to go to someone else's home and stay for six weeks. I wouldn't invite anyone to stay at our place more than a night or two and, if I didn't get alone with someone, I wouldn't invite them at all.

MrNewportCustom said:Her new brother-in-law, my uncle Charles, was visiting and my mother started making breakfast. She wanted to be thought the perfect wife by her new husband's brother, so she cooked his eggs the way he'd requested. When she placed them in front of him, Charles said he'd changed his mind and wanted them cooked another way.
Paisley said:I've seen inlaws break up marriages. I think that most of the people on the Mayflower were probably couples getting away from their inlaws.
MrNewportCustom said:Doran: I'm talking about a mid-fifties suburban newlywed couple here. Believe me, that was the ONE time my uncle Charles tried anything like that, because he learned quickly that he'd never get away with it again with my mom! It was also the one and only time my mother tried to please any inlaw beyond the first try. From that point on, she'd ask what they wanted and that was what they got.
Doran said:You are all making very good points against being the stepford wife. I am starting to come around to y'all's point of view, actually.
MrNewportCustom said:Hence my credo for visiting: Your house, your rules. My house, my rules. It's simple, common sense.
