[quote=Anonymous]I hate having my ILs visit. They expect to be “on” from 7 a.m. until 11 p.m., always together and “chatting.” After dinner, they sit and wait for us to clean the kitchen and put the kids to bed, then they expect us to sit and talk with them until 11 p.m. when they go to bed. Nope! I no longer do that. I leave DH to handle them as much as he wants but when the kids are in bed, I retreat. I also make up endless errands to get me out of the house, to escape their focused attention and demands for an audience. My parents also can be annoying, but here’s what: they go to bed after helping clean up dinner, and don’t expect to sit around in a circle starting at each other all night. We have a pleasant day, they help clean up after dinner, then they go downstairs to read or decompress and go to bed. They leave us alone to decompress and I appreciate that. [/quote]
