[quote=Anonymous]My ILs are like this too. I’m surprised this didn’t resolve when you had kids? That’s how I was able to transition away from this because there was absolutely zero chance I was waking a napping baby or toddler to cater to their need to have all of us do all the things all the time. Then it became “you guys and H take child 1 with you while child 2 naps.” And then by that point it was natural that I did not accompany them on excursions even when child 2 stopped napping because by that time the precedent was set that I didn’t come. It did mean I bore the majority of child stuff while they visited for several years, but honestly it was a small price to pay to get out of the cycle of not a solitary moment alone. My ILs stay upwards of 2 weeks at a clip and it was killing me to be “on” for that long. [/quote]
