[quote=Anonymous]This is a challenge at my ILs. Can you go for less time? I try to find things for us to do, but my DH isn't much help. When my kids were young I found a playground in their small town (they didn't know it existed) and I would guilt MIL into taking us to their local library. Its harder now with older kids. There's lots of time spent with everyone on their devises. The kids and I go to a local coffee shop some mornings. My ILs would never dream of paying for coffee but my kids just tell them "we like supporting local businesses." I also have come up with a lot of random reasons why we need to go to Dollar General cause at least it gets us out of the house and sometimes the kids find toys to keep them occupied for a while. We also take walks around their neighborhood and hear all the local gossip about who built an illegal garage or have put up a fence to close to the property line. I also normally bring a book and escape to our room around 9pm to watch Netflix on my ipad. Just keep your expectations low. [/quote]
