[quote=Anonymous]I would pretend you have things you need to do around their house - "hey mom, our stove is broken - do you mind if i cook for sunday when we drop Alexa off?" or "mom, our laundry is just not working - can we bring some when we bring alexa?" i would feel very uncomfortable leaving her alone andyour MIL might not even register (or want to admit) that its harder to play with and care for your daughter. if the subterfuge doesn't work, i would go with "mom, we are just so worried little Tessa will wear you out. we want you to stay strong and healthy. we're going to go sit in the backyard and read a book - call me if you need anything." and then take frequent peaks. You could also offer to take MIL and your child to parks and whatnot - so you have to stay b/c you're the chauffeur, but she's "really" in charge of your dd.[/quote]
