[quote=Anonymous]In-laws recently moved to the area and now all 4 grandparents are local and try to see us and our children at least every other week. ILs have a commitment every single Sunday that takes up the entire day. If we want to see them, it must be on Saturday.  Which is fine, but they act very put out if we (or even the kids) make plans with friends on Saturday, since it means they won't see us that weekend. In the past, I have tried to plan around them, but it's meant that we don't see friends nearly as often as we would like. Most people seem to spend time with their own families on Sundays and with friends on Friday/Saturday.

Moving forward, I just feel like making we should make our own plans. If we're free on Saturday, great.  It sounds fine in theory, but I know ILs will be very upset when they realize that my parents are seeing us much more often than they are. (They are much more flexible and just pop in for an hour whenever it's convenient for us.)

Should we keep going out of our way to see them, or should we just let them deal? They're fairly passive aggressive and will continue to be. [/quote]
