[quote=Anonymous]I'm a strong believer in dealing with your own parents - so I handle mine and DH handles his. They're nice people, but they are on weird schedules (like they visit during the week because they don't want to miss church on Sundays) and it's disruptive. They just visited over memorial day (which was fine, we said it was ok), but then yesterday in front of the kids they announced they'll be back for DD's birthday in three weeks (caught me and DH by surprise). I like them, but that's really soon, and it's annoying that they assume they can visit whenever they want. It's also annoying because they always want to be here for birthdays and holidays and I want DH to push back a little and that we'd like to have our own family time sometimes - because is it really necessary to have grandparents visit every single birthday?? I get that this is mostly a DH and his boundaries problem -- so how do I push back on HIM? And how do all of it without being a b*? [/quote]
