[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you make it sound like you're incapable of taking care of your own kids without two other adults in the house.[/quote]

OP here. DH is injured/somewhat disabled right now and I travel a lot for work. I'm not asking for help from them, but I think they don't understand how busy we are. My parents stay with us though primarily to help though and because of that we feel like we should spend time with them.

We used to visit inlaws often before kids: about every 6 weeks, but now every time we visit is just a disaster. There's no guest room so our youngest is in a pack n play in the bathroom and sleep is kind of a mess there. I'm sort of overwhelmed right now and use weekends to try to relax.

Inlaws mentioned they wanted to see us for the 4th of July, but I just don't understand why they don't come if they want to see us? They had Monday off and we didn't. I think our parents get along okay together. They're not best friends, but they manage social niceties when they're around each other. My parents stay away when inlaws come to give them space.

Sigh. I guess this is just a rant. I feel guilt tripped about not visiting more when I'm treading water at home. [/quote]
