[quote=Anonymous]I think you need more structure in your MIL visits. What about dropping the kids off for Friday or Saturday nights at their grandparents house? Or Thursday after school with grandma? My parents have a 2nd home down the street from me. When they're in town (40% of the year), I see them a lot. If I'm going shopping, I invite my mom. When my DH is working on the house, my dad will be helping him. If we make a big dinner, we invite them over. We like planning weekend trips with them. They make dinner every Monday night and have us over. It takes a burden off of us (Monday is the busiest, more tiring day for us). My parents aren't intrusive though and I have no trouble standing up to them. When DH says it's too much, we back off. We really, really enjoy them living nearby though. DH has been a saint about it and he sees how happy I am with them. [/quote]
