How long is too long for a MIL visit

Mine lives like a 15 hr drive away so for me I feel it’s only fair to let her stay a week when she flies in to make the most of it since she doesn’t come often. But if she only lived a 2 hour drive away I would be more inclined to keep the visits shortened to a day or two lol
Also, maybe try to think of what exactly annoys you about her presence? Because it’s your house girl you make the rules you def don’t have to let her control stuff around you or dictate anything or change your schedule if you don’t want to! Don’t let her bring any domineering energy there
It depends like once a month sometimes, sometimes other month and sometimes like 3 months can go by id be happier with like less days more frequently probably glad to see im not alone 😂 I just felt like i was starting to be so annoyed at her presence she was going to start picking up and I feel bad. I’ll try to tell my husband to try figure a shorter span time without mortally offending her
I live 20 minutes from my mother in law . She don’t put much effort to see her grandkids 🤷🏻♀️ My mother lives 3+ hours away. It’s longer if she comes to my house. I live an hour away from my family. She stays with my other siblings and it’s usually a weekend, couple/few days or even just for the day, or 1-2 weeks. I think it’s 2 weeks max that she’ll stay then leave back home. It also depends if she communicates with my other siblings and how long she plans to stay too.
I would say there’s no need for her to stay over if she sees the baby every month but to be nice a sleep over of 1-2 days every 2 months is my preference. MILs can be too much sometimes is tiring
I agree my social battery starts to run out around day 2-3. Then I begin to struggle, even with my own family. Lol.
I dunno. Mine never visited or helped out.
How often does she make the trip? If it's monthly, then a day or two is great. If it's once a year, then a week makes sense
