[quote=Anonymous]What happens if you just communicate openly about your needs? Like, "Dearest MIL, would you be willing to watch kiddies from 1-4 so I can take a long walk? I've been missing solitude and it sounds like heaven. They're looking forward to X activity with you" In the morning all you have to do is be polite, make sure you or DH is covering kid needs, and make sure clean up is handled. So like, it's fine to sleep in imo if DH is on breakfast/dishes situation, but not fine to let the kids run wild or let ILs make/clean up breakfast for kids if DH won't help. Basically all you should have to do is be polite and considerate.[/quote]
