[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am very concerned my husband will back down.

FWIW, we don't need the help. As I mentioned before, we have the world's best nanny.    Our household is pretty calm/organized despite having three little kids.

When in-laws are here, they cook everyone three meals a day and walk the dog.  However, I love cooking/meal planning.  I just go along with their cooking so my kids enjoy homestyle ethnic foods.  They make these elaborate meals and leave me to clean up the kitchen.  I'll spend 1-2 hours cleaning a night so I'm not really getting a break during their visit. [/quote]

This could be a great money making and money saving opportunity, OP. Take them up on their offer to cook and babysit. Hire a maid to clean the kitchen and let the nanny go. Give them every task you normally give the nanny plus a maid. Don't reimburse them for food. Just tire them out and maybe they'll back down and move back. Oh, and talk down to them like they are "the help". Write a screenplay about it and sell it to a Hollywood studio. I would pay to see a movie like that![/quote]
