[quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks for everyone's replies on this. Moving the visits to during the week would be so much better. They are definitely not going to like being limited to 3 days but that's how it has to be. They're having trouble processing that we actually like to take DC places and do not always welcome their offers to take him off our hands. For doctor visits or a date night, sure, but we did get DC a good stroller and baby carrier with the intention of taking him places with us. Last month during one of their visits we left to take DC to a park one morning. My mother's answer? "Why didn't you just leave him with us???"

Even with these long visits, they're still trying to squeeze out more time with DC and have even offered to watch him when we go on vacation but we adamantly declined. He's too young to be away from me for such a long time and we don't mind having him along. Again, I think it's my mom's way of being manipulative. When DC's older and if he wants to spend a week and either of his grandparents' houses, of course.

And yes, they do come from cultures where everyone was in out and of everyone else's houses and up in everyone else's business. [/quote]
