FWIW, we don't need the help. As I mentioned before, we have the world's best nanny.    Our household is pretty calm/organized despite having three little kids.

When in-laws are here, they cook everyone three meals a day and walk the dog.  However, I love cooking/meal planning.  I just go along with their cooking so my kids enjoy homestyle ethnic foods.  They make these elaborate meals and leave me to clean up the kitchen.  I'll spend 1-2 hours cleaning a night so I'm not really getting a break during their visit. [/quote]

You don't have an in-law problem you have a marriage problem. If your husband is dismissing you, your needs, your feelings, your work, and your trust in him just to avoid an uncomfortable confrontation with someone else, that's a bit marriage problem. Another approach to take to this may be to be really honest with your husband on this front. "Given the past history here, I don't trust that you'll actually follow through on this while your parents are here. If your parents are going to come, I think we should see a marriage counselor to help us work through this issue."[/quote]
