[quote=Anonymous][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]

Hahaha! Yeah, they sure sound that way in this description but you are welcome to them! I've posted about MIL on here before and the general consensus was she is nuts. Her one redeeming quality is that she loves DD and would do anything to spend one on one time with her, so I try to take advantage of that.[/quote]
