Bu...As it turns out, my husband works in insurance. But my in-laws don't believe in insurance. They refused to get coverage - even if we bought it for them! They didn't want any part of it and wouldn't sign anything. They are soooooooo dumb. If it comes to them visiting, please do tell me how to arrange travelers insurance because I am NOT footing the bill for that old goat. No way. I don't know what she'll eat if/when she visits in the US. She won't try anything I cook unless my husband forces her to. I will not let her cook in my US kitchen, unless she is cooking dumplings WITH us. Seriously, you know what I found today in the cabinet under the stove? I smelled something and couldn't pinpoint where the odor was coming from. It smelled like garbage. I went to make eggs for Jeremy when he returned from playing soccer and when I went into that cabinet to turn on the gas valve, I found a bag full of potatoes, a bag of green beans and an ear of corn! WTF! The green beans were what smelled...they were rotting. The potatoes pissed me right off because I was trying to find those for dinner last night. And I thought maybe I had imagined we'd had a bag of potatoes or that I'd mistaken the extra giant kiwis my husband had bought for potatoes. So I made something else. That dumb cow! I am so annoyed that just one week after going back to work, she's brought this house down to her nasty level and I'm too busy with the baby to clean up all of it. I was so excited when Raelynn first was starting school because my house stayed clean because that old hag wasn't here. Now she's here all day during the week, messing up everything. I cannot wait to move. Send good vibes for our visa situation, please.

They had to change planes in Canada, but my husband arranged for a service to pick them up at one gate and bring them to the next flight. It wasn't that expensive. They stayed about one month. It was kind of like having two extra children! One important thing is make sure they have special health insurance for travelers. Whatever they have in China won't cover them here. If they were to get sick, you and your husband would be responsible for the bill unless they have the insurance.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09211691412408934332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2287572224300306186.post-35002915855347386492014-10-10T06:43:53.849-07:002014-10-10T06:43:53.849-07:00I hope you are right about the visa but it varies ...I hope you are right about the visa but it varies by country. The US *might* offer 6 months on that kind of visa. I pray it is only 3 months though. I seriously doubt she'd come by herself. She has never been on a plane and she would have no idea how to change planes for her connecting flight. It will likely come down to us going back to visit them which will be fine because I'm sure we won't be able to stay too long. <br /><br />I used to think it was my in-laws but I think it is ALL mainland Chinese in-laws because I have friends here who are also married to Chinese spouses and they have similar complaints. I should get them to write some guest posts.JQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17398355557660230873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2287572224300306186.post-9597378174416242112014-10-09T11:03:36.295-07:002014-10-09T11:03:36.295-07:00The tourist visa for MIL should be only for a few ...The tourist visa for MIL should be only for a few months...so you are safe from a long term stay over.<br /><br />I really can't believe how your in-laws act, it is so damn weird. I mean I thought my in-laws are a bit odd but they pale in comparisson to yours. If they would be my in-laws, oh dear lord, I guess I would be in prison for murder alreadyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
