[quote=Anonymous]OP, you must be in your first decade of marriage and are still being polite with MIL. I'm almost 20 years in and I wish I had figured this out a long time ago. DH needs to deal with his Mom. The sooner you shift that burden off yourself and onto him, the better for everyone. When you're on their turf, go out for a very long run and then take a very long shower - boom, two hours of 'me time.' If someone 'checks on you' - tell them, 'I'm fine, thanks.' Here's another one - decide that you need something at the mall. Go get a massage at one of those chair places, then shop for whatever you think you need. Or just come home and say they didn't have it in your size and will have to order it online. I have no problem separating myself from the in-laws, or even my own parents when the visit is too long. Let go of the guilt and take advantage of the free babysitting![/quote]
