In today's Ask Amy column, Amy Dickinson responds to a couple who wants to set boundaries with family visiting during holiday season.
My husband’s brother and his family want to come and spend up to 10 days with us.
They have done so in the past and it hasn’t been a problem, but both my husband and I now work remotely from a home office. We asked if they could limit their time spent here to a few days because it is difficult juggling work and having guests for an extended period.How do we set appropriate boundaries and let them know they are welcome, but that it is burdensome to accommodate their request for a longer stay?You already let these family members know what your boundaries are regarding this holiday visit.
A 10-day hosting marathon for a family with children over the holidays is extreme, even if you’re not hosting them in what has become your home-based workplace.
