[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's nothing rude about saying, "It's been lovely chatting with you, but as you know, Larla isn't sleeping through the night, and I'm exhausted, so I'm headed to bed. Good night!" Who cares if they think it's rude? Seriously, what awful thing will happen if you go to bed when you need to?[/quote] This is a good option and honest to boot. OP, why do you feel you must entertain them when you have an infant? If they get pissy about it, it's on them, not you. One critical thing I'd add to the above idea: They are your in-laws. Your husband's parents. It is therefore his job to run interference. He tells them you are headed to bed, and HE stays up to "entertain" them but only if he wants to do so. He's tired too. Too many posts on DCUM where the DIL is expected to handle in-laws on her own but it's her husband's job to do this. Just as it's your job to handle your own parents if they present problems.[/quote]
