[quote=Anonymous]I do a fair amount of vacationing with in laws - in fact I'm doing it right now.  I don't mind a week or so a year, but I would hate your situation.  Thing is, I didn't enter into a compromise like you did - live near my parents and we'll visit yours.  So, I think we all need to know what the agreement was with your husband before we can say it's unreasonable.

One other thing.  If you like to travel and take your kids new places, maybe as your kids get older, you will be able to convince your husband to go different places so that you can give your kids other experiences.

Finally, I don't think your example of your FIL leaving while your child was reading to him makes him an ass.  Seriously, some people are just not big kid people and don't want to spend that kind of time with your kids.  I would have left when my own were reading to ma if I could have - I found that to be one of the most awful times.  I would never listen to my nieces or nephews read me a book if I could figure a way out of it and I love kids.  [/quote]
