[quote=Anonymous]Visits were painful for awhile. Kids helped in the long run. Not when they were babies, because they were all confused about why the baby/toddler needed a nap or a bedtime, so that was irritating. But then my babies/toddlers grew into kids, and they are a terrific buffer. There's always something to do! I am actually nervous for when they are older and aren't as into playing game etc. I don't want to have to sit in the living room and listen to my MIL lecture me (her preferred communication pathway) about whatever she is on her high horse about. But I do try to remember that they are who they are. We have certainly had plenty of bumps in the road because my MIL can be incredibly rude. But one thing I've learned after 15 years of this is to just kinda ride above it all. I let my DH handle all communication, I don't try to be "their daughter" and if I have an opinion, I tell my DH and it's his job to manage it all. [/quote]
