Dear Queenie,
My wife’s family (7 people) came to visit us for a week. Nobody asked me ahead of time what I thought about it.
They made so much noise and confusion that our neighbors complained about it and after they left my wife commented that I too seemed to be put out about all of it.
Queenie, what do you say about all of this?—Her husband
Dear Husband,
Remind your wife that your neighbours also were put out about her family’s presence and behaviour and there should be some limits on their next (if any) visit. She should always ask you whether such a visit would be acceptable for you.
