[quote=Anonymous]Honey, you need to stand up for yourself a bit more. There is no reason you should have to see your MIL every weekend. There is no reason to tolerate your DH's inability to stand up to her. You say you don't want to create a fuss, but wouldn't the fuss be worth it if you could change things? First, I'd talk to the nanny. See what she says. Maybe you could agree on Tuesdays for a two-hour window. Then present it to your husband: "I'd be happy to do this if we only saw her every other weekend. I'd love more time just as a family, and any weekly obligation really cuts into that time." I hate these posts where women say they have "no choice" about doing something. You do, you just have to negotiate...and possibly seek out some counseling. Your MIL's wishes shouldn't have such a strong say over yours in your marriage, with your family time. [/quote]
