[quote=Anonymous]I don't think you sound ungrateful at all, OP. That's really inconsiderate of your MIL, especially since she complains if she doesn't get to schedule these as suits her. Since it's your MIL, I'd say have your DH tell her she needs to shape up and either be on time or risk having these put to an end. It does sound like your just putting the kids in front of a movie would be less stressful for you as a way to catch a break - what you describe would also completely drive me nuts. If your DH can't/won't do that, and you do want to continue the arrangement (or figure the blowback isn't worth messing with it), honestly I think your best bet is to just resign yourself to the fact that this is how it is. I know for me, frustration is worst when I keep thinking to myself that somehow things will change. Giving up the idea of the preferred scenario entirely at least comes with its own kind of peace![/quote]
