Yes! That's what my sister-in-law does, too! She did it last year AND again this year. We've now told her she must pick a flight that arrives in the day time.
She is a teacher and no way could she survive a day in front of her class on 4 hours sleep. Why do it to us??? Even better: her return flight was due to land at Heathrow at 3.30pm. A friend was picking her up. SIL said that was o.k. because it was 3.30pm but any later and she would have booked a taxi! So, she thinks it's an imposition to get her friend to the airport any later than 3.30pm but getting us to the airport at 1am is fine and dandy???!!! Thankfully she isn't coming next year. my in laws do this too - my hubby had to take them to airport for a late night flight - he gets up at 5 am for work and the other one is the get here at 2 pm and expect hubby to pick them up when he is working - why cant they get a taxi ? they got very upset last time - they were flying home at 1pm and wanted hubby to take them to the airport - when hubby said he couldn't as he would be at work and couldn't take the time off - fil said - well if we met you in perth cbd you could disapear for 1 hr to take us to the airport - hubby said no he could not they ended up getting a taxi ! |

What I would like to know though is how come others stay for 4 months?....what type of visa? ...thought that the longest was 3 month stay.
As you can see don't want visitors to stay longer....just curious. |

3 months stay is with the electronic visa. You can do a paper application for a 6 months and a 12 months visitors visa as well. Make sure you don't let that one slip in front of your parents/in-laws ... :sneaky:

Even better. The threat carries even more weight. |

Re: Coping with mother-in-laws
At least we all have an insight how we will be seen as mil :D
My mother in law used to come for three months at a time and it was fine, I probably was a bit of a bitch at times, more than likely I would say, because I sometimes like to shop alone and she always wanted to come. That said she was my oh Mum and she loved him and him her and he has to put up with my Mum so tit for tat really. I think though its a good idea when buying property if you are going to have lots of overseas visitors to have a small unit built on the house or granny flat and then at least you can have some privacy. Say its a b and b and income will be lost so maybe handouts will come too. :thumbsup: |

Re: Coping with mother-in-laws
Just had a thought - perhaps tell them you are thinking of returning to the uk anytime soon so best not to book flights as you wouldn't want them to waste money!!!
