[quote=Anonymous]Agree that you should ask your DH to take the lead more. And find time when you can have chores that get you out of the house away from her (running to the store, breastfeeding). Tell her that your doctor said that you need to exercise and then go do it. Also, you have plenty of data that she is not going to change. Just expect this week you will have, essentially, an additional child to take care of. I went through something similar with my parents and ILs and honestly it gets a little better when the kids are older and you don't have the pressure of taking care of them while you also try to manage your guests. Once the kids were independent, I also just started announcing I was going to take a nap and then retreat to my bedroom for a couple of hours. MIL thinks I am lazy. I don't care; the peace is bliss and gets me through the visits.[/quote]
