[quote=Anonymous]Weather OP is the MIL or DIL, as long as the visiting MIL does not make me entertain her, cook meal for her, taking out of my time to do extra work for her "during the school week", I am OK.

My mom: She will cook meals for my entire family while I am doing other things for the house (or working during a day).  Mom packs enough left over for us to take the lunch next day.
My MIL: I asked her once if she could help us by cooking some meal for us, she flat out told me "I've never cooked such meal before" and did not help cook anything (I work full time. I'd so hoped that she at least cook some meal to help rifting off some of the cooking (major house chore in my house) from my shoulder cuz you staying together with us is extra work during our normal weeks/days!!) Ended right then so I stopped expecting anything from her (which is probably wise).

Treating MIL like my mom?  That's not going to happen at this time.  I mean I'd happy to have a chance for MIL to bond with my kid but I am not actively taking my kid to see her unless there is a need on my part to stop by her area (we require international travel, so visitation is during Vacation), my husband taking the kid alone, or her and FIL visiting us (they can come during the kid's school days but don't expect me to entertain them as I am working FT).  It's not that I hate them or anything, just I would rather spend "My limited vacation time" visiting my own family than visiting in-laws....  Really, my honest feeling.  I don't mind my husband taking the kid to see them.[/quote]
