My in-laws were terrific people (at least until dementia changed that), but even so I always found an extended visit exhausting. MIL always wanted to do too much. I knew I should be grateful that she wanted to make me breakfast, but really I just want to make it myself and not be pushed into eating more than I want. Now that they are gone I miss them. My FIL had had some sort of mini-stroke long before I met him and was always just a bit off. Very pleasant, but conversations were always pretty superficial. It annoyed his kids more than it annoyed me.
