[quote=Anonymous]Another +1.

My MIL is very nice, but she tends to like to be a mildly pampered guest when she visits.  Pre-kids, it wasn't too hard to keep her satisfied, but after twins, trying to cater to her and pamper her was getting very stressful.  While we want to encourage her to see the kids as much as possible, but at one point, I suggested to my spouse that we cut back on the visits by my MIL for a while because it was hard to take care of her and the kids at the same time.  My spouse had a nice private conversation with her and the next time she came to visit, she just started helping out.  Not a lot, but for her, it was a huge overture.  She did some shopping and cooked dinner for us twice while she was visiting.  She picked the kids up from daycare several times that week allowing me to work later than usual.  She tried really hard and it helped a lot.  I'm so glad that I have a nice MIL.  Some MIL would take issue the "demands" but instead she just looked for ways to make herself less of a burden and more of a help.  [/quote]
