[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. They are not good grandparents at all. If they were I could forgive them anything. They are messy and demanding - my kitchen will be a mess as will the living room and dining room. Food and drinks everywhere. Dirty dishes left in every room including upstairs. Lots of manipulating dh about vacationing with them. It goes on and on. My heart is pounding just thinking about it. I actually thought about asking my friend for her Xanax to see if I could calm down. Last year my MIL had a big tantrum right before thanksgiving dinner that infuriated me. My parents, siblings and children had to sit through a dinner we slaved over  pretending it never happened. No one can be themselves or feel comfortable. I am exhausted after their visits. [/quote]

Why not go to your doctor (NOT a neighbor!) and describe this as episodic anxiety, and get a perscription just in case? She will likely give you Klonopin. Just something to have in your back pocket in case you need it, no big deal.

Have you talked to your husband? He can help more with cleaning up after them.

What was MIL's tantrum about?[/quote]
