[quote=Anonymous]Like many pp have said you need to have something to do each day. Even if you and the kids take up a new hobby.  Try geocatching.  It will give you an excuse to explore the town and be to odd for MIL to tag along.

How old are your kids?  Are they in scouts?  If so you know have a reason to leave every day.  Larla needs to do x, y, and z to complete her badge requirements so we are going to go do that today.  MIL does not need to know that this is not a requirement that needs to be done that particular week.

Go for a walk.  Take one child with you. Walk for 45 min and then stop at the play ground/ice cream shop/corner store for a candy bar.  Just so the other child is not left out...repeat the adventure with the other child.  See, now you got out of the house twice, you spent quality time with each kid and you let MIL spend quality time with each child.

Good luck OP.  I know trips like this can be hard but DO NOT let MIL ruin your relationship with your spouse or kids.[/quote]
