[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you need to stop focusing so much on their expectations and focus on what works for you and your family.
Decide how frequent you want these visits and invite from there. I think weekly sounds crazy but do what works for you.
If you need to do pizza and paper plates to make my visit manageable then do that. They can choose to be annoyed about it or not. Stop waiting on them hand and foot. I am guessing a few pizza and fast dinners for these weekday visits and you won’t have them coming so frequently!

Are your kids really young? I can’t imagine this working with school homework and after school activities.[/quote]
OP again: It’s so frustrating. I hate it during the week, but I also hate having to give up a weekend when DH aid working, because I accomplish a lot then and use the time to visit my family. DH isnt interested at all in giving up his weekends off for his family, so like I said, there is no happy medium other than suffering through a weekday visit.

Someone said I’m not following the advice, but really, I don’t care if it makes me look bitchy, it’s not my family. But the kids love their grandparents so I do try. [/quote]
