[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You have a baby.  The novelty will wear off soon.  I think it's really nice that they are making the effort to come and see their grandchild so often.  Please don't push them away for that.  My kids don't have any grandparents in this country.  I think you are being very mean to them and to your DH.  Let them stay and do everything, and hide in your room if you can't bear it.  Or make plans to go out with your friends or shopping or whatever.  Better yet, try and get along with them better.[/quote]

Hide away. Be passive. Do for your husband and his family otherwise you're mean!

What a messed up viewpoint.

OP, you and your DH should be on the same page. It sounds like the best you could hope for at this point is a compromise of some kind. Like pp said, could you stretch visits to every 6-8 weeks? Could DH and DC go visit them every 3-4 months? Seeing them so often is already wearing on you and there are no signs of improvement. If you let this continue you will resent them even more. We had ILs stay in a hotel form time to time and it was such a good move for all parties. We had time apart to decompress and reconnect in the mornings.[/quote]
