[quote=Anonymous]Thanks, everyone. I like the "house rules" approach. The trick will be making sure DH will back me up. As mentioned, I am not optimistic that DH will discuss this in the abstract before she arrives. (Judge away, I'm just acknowledging how he is & the unlikelihood if that happening.). She usually comes with a stash of candy in her suitcase & DH doesn't make sure she eats veggies, so I'm not sure there is any expectation at home or during visits re: nutrition. That will be a hard one to enforce, especially since it doesn't directly affect me (unlike not picking up after herself). Any suggestions on bonding activities? My expectations are fairly minimal....I'm not her parent & don't need for her to adore me, but I'd like to make an effort to spend quality time with her. So far, it's been coloring & playing UNO.[/quote]
