[quote=Anonymous]Agree that you or DH needs to be very specific about what’s expected. I’m on the other side of this — when the grandchildren come alone, we have no issues entertaining them all week. However, when their Mom comes with them, they naturally gravitate to her for anything they need. It would be awkward for us to insert ourselves in between them uninvited. But we’re fine when she tells us that she needs to work, and we need to take over. It works best for us to just get them out of the house entirely, but I don’t mind telling them that they can’t bug their Mom when I have explicit authority to do so. Don’t let FIL off the hook — my DH has gotten to be a great entertainer of grandkids, even though it wasn’t necessarily the thing he felt most comfortable with, at first. [/quote]
