[quote=Anonymous]My husband's parents were in town this past week.  We live in a 3BR townhouse with 3 kids (5, 2, and a baby), but have kept a dedicated guest room for them to visit.  They only visit once or twice a year, and when they do they usually only come for one or two days at most.  We have family in NJ and they are from CA, so usually we go up to see them in NJ when they come.  But even then its only for a few days at most.  This trip they came for four days which was the longest they have ever come since we moved into this house and had children.  
Here are the things they mentioned on a daily basis:
1.  We need to get a single family home.  Our house is too cramped and small.  
2.  We aren't giving any of our kids enough attention.  Especially our middle child (who is 2).  Since we make him sleep in his own bed instead of letting him sleep in our bed every night, we don't show him enough love.  (He's been having some sort of sleep regression so he was waking up and crying in the middle of the night.  My husband was sleeping on the floor next to his bed every night.)  He's throwing tantrums because he doesn't get enough attention (not because he's two and that's what two year olds do).  We need to get a nanny (the kids are in daycare).  
3.  My eldest daughter should have had her ears pierced when she was a baby.  We should pierce the baby's ears.
4.  You're not giving the kids enough peanut butter.  They are going to develop a peanut allergy.  They eat too much sugar.
5.  You bathroom towels aren't absorbent enough.  They look like kitchen towels.[/quote]
