[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Jesus, don't be such a fucking doormat.

Tell her that she can visit you for 3, maybe 4, days at a time. Long weekends so your husband will be around.  And go on your own vacation.

Just because she WANTS to visit for a week doesn't mean you have to allow it. [/quote]

IF your DH can't be bothered to take time of to deal with HIS mother, why should you make yourself miserable? DH needs to set limits with his mother, limits that YOU BOTH agree to.

IF you don't take care of your marriage (vacation time), it will fall apart. Meddling ILs can damage a marriage as well. So keep the not nice ILs AWAY.

I loved my MIL and she lived nearby. I used to send my DC with my DH when he would visit her for a couple of hours. I realized she wanted to see DC, not me, so why bother going? I wasn't offended. DH had a chance to spend time with his mom and she had time to spend with DC. I would take DC over to visit my parents without my DH, so again, not a problem unless YOU make it one. Figure out something that works for you![/quote]
