We stayed about three days with my in-laws before heading back home. That's about all I can handle, and I imagine they feel the same. Yes, we are always welcome--but it just isn't comfortable to stay too long--and I think they are also glad to get back to their routine when we leave. There just isn't enough space for us there--cramped quarters, sleeping on couches and airbeds, sharing bathrooms--being a houseguest isn't easy, and hosting them isn't either. And we just do so many things differently--from waking up and going to bed a certain times, types of foods to eat for breakfast, things to do during the day, what to watch on television, etc.--we couldn't be more different. I truly begin to miss home and the way we do things there--and I can't wait to get back. So a few days is fine for everyone, but we never want to overstay our welcome!
