[quote=Anonymous]I’m really trying to be charitable, but my normally, well, normal, DH has completely regressed into some kind of child with the ILs visiting. He refuses to set boundaries or “inconvenience” them in any way. This goes from me putting out mugs he decided they would think we’re “weird” and changing them (clear glass to regular stoneware), changing the radio station to their kind of music (in a language I don’t understand), choosing only activities that they may like (I understand this one). I’m working today, so they went shopping, but came home with only enough meat for two people, while there is four adults and a ravenous toddler, because “they don’t eat much”. Rather than top up the meat they DID get, DH didn’t do anything, and then got mad at me for suggesting we make something in addition. Then, he planned the next 5 days of food to reflect what they eat, rather than what we eat as a family (I’ve been making a mixture of both). I do all the cooking, and have no desire to feed a toddler sauerkraut and different sausages for the next week, and nor do I want to. Now I’ll be making two meals and dealing with the stink eye that I’m not playing along. It’s just like with them here, he’s forgotten he’s an independent adult and he just goes along with anything that will make them happy, even if it makes DD an I uncomfortable.

I know I can work around it, and just suck it up for the next week, but I hate when they visit, because he turns totally into a different person.

Can anyone commiserate? [/quote]
