[quote=Anonymous]You're using a lot of "seems to think." Have you actually sat down with your husband and a calendar to map out what a year would look like? And you're firm on the ILs staying in a hotel when they visit -- is your husband? Are you ILs? It doesn't matter what the rest of us do (from smug "We cherish our family time, and that includes the grandparents" to smug "We both have spines and have told our parents they will only get X amount of our time" to smug "I cherished every moment of my time with my parents who are now dead and I would give anything to have that time back"). Also, when you're coming up with imaginary schedules with your spouse, realize that things are going to be changing soon and often: teenagers with jobs, teenagers who want to hang out with their friends, teenagers looking at colleges, college students who have school when you'd arrange a visit, etc)[/quote]
