[quote=Anonymous]Focus on the behaviors. And make your husband do the fighting. That is the key to all of this. People don't divorce their spouse because ILs move nearby. They divorce because their spouse is not supportive and undermines the other spouse. If FIL criticizes your parenting, it's your husband who needs to respond: "Dad, you need to keep your comments to yourself. Suzie and I make the decisions about how to raise our kids and we'll let you know if we need your opinion." Husband needs to be "Team Suzie." If you're worried about the kids getting overstimulated, then limit the time they spend with grandparents. If you don't want to listen to FIL or have him in your home, figure out a schedule with your husband, ie one dinner a month with them. If he insists that they come over more, then you leave and he can host dinner for his parents. No law saying you have to be present. [/quote]
