[quote=Anonymous]DH's family lives in CA.  We visit once a year for 4-5 days.  I like MIL and SIL.  BIL has always been OCD but it seems worse now and the kids are taking on the habits too. For example, all the furniture is covered and if my kids scrunch up or otherwise move a blanket on the couch, one of the cousins gets mad at them.  Our toddler was knocking on the glass to the screened in porch and BIL reprimanded him.  It's stressful for me because it reminds me of one of my own controlling parents and I feel like I'm walking on eggshells. It also irritates me that their child who is only a year older than mine is telling my kids what to do and getting mad at them for really random and arbitrary rules.  I feel like we should stay in a hotel but it's so expensive to fly us all out in the first place and hotels are tough with little kids. What would you do DCUM? If the answer is suck it up, how would you handle BIL? I have no illusions about any changes and it's not my place to say anything anyway. I feel bad for him and the kids because it's a stressful way to live. I can barely handle 5 days.
