[quote=Anonymous]I would tell them you need their help in enforcing the routine if they want to visit on weeknights, aka, encourage your 7 yo to go to bed, maybe read her a story? Have dinner with them and then spend 30 min catching up and then send them to the hotel. You know, the MIL is going to die eventually and these visits will stop and you and your family might miss them. I would love to have my DH's sibling visit once a week, but they don't live close by. You need to chill out a little bit - it sounds like you really need to control things. I would just have a talk with the family and say we can have these visits, but we need to enforce routine. If you are overwhelmed, tell ILs. Have them pick up dinner every time and set it up, help the kids with homework, etc. Make it work for you! And keep that family time that you won't likely get the chance to enjoy again. Your kids like them, this is important. Kids remember stuff like this when they are older.[/quote]
