[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you want them to babysit, you have to leave the house. I think this is an iron rule of grandparents. It’s true of my own parents and they are lovely. [/quote]

If that possible for you, OP? [/quote]

This feels like the right answer. It even helps with the phrasing. "Okay, so we are planning on working from the library tomorrow. MIL, I know you've had some work things come up - will you be able to watch the kids while we're gone? Or do you have more work meetings you'll need to tend to? We'll be gone from 9am to 5pm."

Then, see what she says. [/quote]

So put it all on the MIL and not on FIL?

This just sounds like a poorly thought-out plan.  I would say that OP should have her DH deal with it - OP should leave and let the three other adults sort it out. [/quote]

This, and also, is DH actually participating in childcare now? I know the OP says they are both “scrambling” but if it were my situation DH would be tuning out the chaos while I threw down bowls of crackers. So I would leave, which would then cause DH to be like “no mom for real I have a call now step up.”[/quote]
