[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Talk to your DH about how to divide and conquer on future trips.

I totally get you. My experience was similar. ILs wanted us to visit all the time, but didn't care to do any work to make it easier for the kids/us. I mean, heaven forbids that they should move their precious glass ornaments that were within easy reach of the toddler. And they only wanted to look at the baby/toddler and take some cute pictures, and expected me to keep the kids quiet and occupied 99% of the time so the grown ups can talk.

Several options: stay in a hotel when you visit them and keep the time in their house short; have DH take them (they'll quickly realize that everyone needs to chip in when mom is not there); meet up with them at a family friendly resort (better use of your vacation time and more relaxing).[/quote]

I dislike staying in hotels because then there’s even less to play with. When we stay with them we bring toys in our luggage. Plus when kids take naps, I have to go back to the hotel? That’s hard on me as a parent. [/quote]
