What do people consider a time limit for when a house guest has exceeded a reasonable time? My mother-in-law came down to Florida from Pennsylvania for our youngest son's wedding. My wife knows we don't get along and told me she was staying with a friend as she use to live down here. Well, ten days later of her staying at our house I'm getting dirty looks from my wife when I throw out hints of her going to her friends home. She brings her dog and lets it up on the furniture and let's it sleep with her in our queen size guest bed and my wife doesn't say squat. I don't say anything cause I'll blow and let her have it with both barrels but I'm not too subtle with the hints.
