Well, my wife is on the way to the airport with my Mother-in-Law. It hasn't been a bad visit. Heck...the part about getting an overnight break from the kids was beyond 'not bad'.
There are only two things I really don't like when she visits...first, and most serious, is the effect it has on my wife. Like most grown-up daughters, she tends to take everything that comes out of her mom's mouth as 'judgement'. Sometimes it is...but not 100% of the time. This tends to have my wife on a constant edge...which doesn't make her as sweet and kind and amazing as she usually is.
From a personal standpoint, while I enjoy company, I HATE having long term visitors, whether is a mother-in-law, a mother, or the Swedish Bikini Team. I can't be ME when someone else is in the house. What does 'being me' involve? Well...realistically, a lot of sitting around in my skivies, as opposed to always needing to to weat a shirt and shorts/lounge pants.
Yup...look into the horror of my world...
