[quote=Anonymous]Sounds really hard OP. I have a MIL who was very difficult. We didn't "have it out" per se, but we have taken some serious steps to manage the dynamic. Our rules are : - husband and I are a united front. - he is the first responder w/ his family, I with mine - no one is allowed to visit for longer than 1 week unless someone has died or they crossed an ocean to get to us - the schedule/rules/system that we use to run the house (bedtimes, nap schedules, mealtimes) do not change. If family dinners or events work within the household schedule - great. If they don't then we will not disrupt the kid's world to accommodate the adult wishes. (This was a major issue w/ twin infants and inlaws wanting family dinners out at 8 pm etc...) - our nuclear family comes first - period. - husband and I are a united front. Worth repeating! :-) Good luck![/quote]
