[quote=Anonymous]Yes, others grandparents do these things. If yours don't help, there's only one thing to do, which is to tell them exactly what you need. (Or just suck it up). Ask them to be responsible for dinner a few nights. Definitely ask them to do dishes ("I"ve got to give the baby a bath, could you do kitchen cleanup?" Also, ask them to babysit while you take a nap during the day. My parents were helpful. My fil however, ugh. Luckily he was only here a few days. I sucked it up. All he wanted to do was hold the baby or sit in the chair next to the bassinet while I catered to him. I've gotten pretty good at speaking up since then. [/quote]
