7 day rule, too harsh

Dh and I have had a lot of visitors since the boys arrival. some have chosen to stay up to 3 weeks at a time. It's making me crazy to have that many people in my house that long. Also the boys get so off schedule with her sleeping when visitors are here. Today I told my husband that we will have a 7 day rule that after 7 days here at our house if they want to stay longer they need to check into a hotel. Too harsh? Note I haven't slept more than 2 consecutive hours in the last 6 days and that's the frame of mind I'm in while making this decision.

I cannot imagine having visitors stay with us for 7 days. You are a saint. It's not too harsh.

Holy hell! You should have instituted that rule a long freakin time ago! Who in their right mind stays at someone elses house for 3 weeks?! Good lawd

Thanks ladies. Fil and smil are here that long. The only reason I agreed to it is because they were suppose to have rented a car and do lots of little local trips but that never happened. And they are only helpful on their terms, not those of me and the babies. Maybe I'll make it a 5 day rule with them.

Did your visitor pitch in on your mortgage? That's so long.

That's not harsh but sweet of you to let them stay that long. Your not a hotel and you have babies to care for. I'll even go a step further and say have them help with the night feedings so you can get so much needed rest.

No kidding. I do not trust them to do night feedings. They sleep 10 12 hours every night, and take naps. I won't even leave the house if they are "watching" the babies, but that's topic for another post.

Yeah and even this may be much for me unless they are completely taking over baby and household duties.  My house is not free for you to stay!

2 nights, 3 days... Then get the f out. My house my rules.

We made this rule too after my mom was here three weeks then his parents were here three weeks. Granted we are in Germany so that makes a 1 week trip impossible. But when we are stateside again, 7 days is all you get! This will help save our marriage,

 10 - 12 hrs a night that must be nice. Well I wish you luck. I hope they don't make it any harder on you than it needs to be.

Fil sleeps that long, not the babies. We are up at least twice every night. Oye.

Sorry I should be more clear I meant to say that it must be nice for your family. I'm pretty sleep deprived as well so things don't always come out as I intend them to.

No worries, I'm too tired to register sarcasm.
