[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If it were me I'd give my MIL something to do like watch the kid.[/quote]

I started to ask and she started in with how tired she was from shopping all day.[/quote]

She dropped in. There is no asking. Next time tell her and if she whines about being tired say you are double tired.   :D

Make her visits work for you. Oh and tell her to call before dropping in.  [/quote]

[b]She called DH while he was at work. [/b]He was so busy he didn't get a chance to call me until it was too late. [b]He did tell her to let me know she was coming. She didn't[/b].[/quote]

And here's where the fix lies: Your husband needs to respond with one of these 2 responses:

"I'll call Suzy. We might have plans tonight, but I can't remember. I'll let you know if there's a good time to stop by."
OR
"Sorry mom, that won't work. I know Suzy has some errands to run. Let's set up a time when I'm there and you can come by."
[/quote]

+1 Why is your DH the conduit for MIL visits when he's not even at home? She should call you directly and then you can say it's not a good time. DH letting his mother [i]tell him[/i] she's coming over when he's not even home is not ok.[/quote]
