[quote=Anonymous]She may want to see him weekly, but you are not responsible for making that happen, nor are you responsible for managing her feelings. Offer specific invitations for times that work for you, whether that's asking her to come over for an hour while you fold laundry and empty the dishwasher or whatever, or sharing a meal while DH is home, or whatever. Every 2-3 weeks seems fine for such an event to occur. If you get fed up, let DH handle it and drop any expectation that you're responsible. Meanwhile, if she asks to drop by, just say it's not a good time. "Oh, we were just about to head out for some errands" or "DS is about to go down for his nap." "Gosh, it would be great if we could plan something in advance, but this just isn't a good time." Say no each and every time. You may have to say something directly, but I bet this will solve most of it. [/quote]
