[quote=Anonymous]Wow, OP, that does sound rotten. Have you talked over the last visit with your DH, specifically the cycle of negativity with the kids and how they were called out for seemingly normal behavior? It seems to me that was the worst of it, and you and DH should agree in advance to try to avoid that at all costs, with perhaps a "code word" to each other if you feel that is happening. Can you also agree in advance to have "shifts" or "coverage" so that you will be able to leave the scene for certain periods to take a nap, take a shower, go shopping, read a book, take a walk or talk to your kids about how they think the visit is going. Or you can get away as a family without MIL. Also, I think a week is too long. 2-3 days.[/quote]
