[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mine is coming up in a few weeks. Lesson learned from last year - plan ahead and make sure to identify activities that get me out of the house/away from the ILs.

My DH likes to fish, and he'll make a last minute decision to go out for a half or full day, leaving me in the house with MIL and DD. This year I'm making him tell me which days he is fishing so I can identify similar-length outings for myself. MIL would like nothing more than to have DD to herself, so she can babysit while I drive into town, go get my nails done, go for a nice, very long run, or whatever.

Also, my MIL knows I love to read and rarely have time, so I'll bring a huge pile of books and head off into the bedroom to "read" (even if I just take a nap or whatever) or take a book down to the coffee shop.

Running and reading are two excellent hobbies that MIL and FIL cannot participate in so buy me time to myself. [/quote]

Wow, your IL's sound really kind and selfless.  Can we trade?  :( [/quote]
