[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op, previous posters gave you a good advises how to draw the line. Please, keep in mind that your children are observing your relations with parents and they are learning how to treat the parents. One day, it can be your child who can't stand you for more than a week. [/quote]

If OP has boundaries, she won't have to worry.

Why should anyone have to eat shit just because it's being served by a family member?[/quote]

OP here. Update: my parents are still here. We also have an infant who cries and screams a lot every morning. He's just in a phase, we think. But as most parents know, yeah, it's not an easy time. So, my parents drop by to visit again and I tell them, he's been screaming all morning, he's just in a mood. It's been a rough morning for us, I say.

Their response: "Welcome to the real world. That's what babies do. Deal with it."

No empathy.

To the post it says it can be me one day, it will most certainly be me if I'm unable to say something supportive to my exhausted son and DIL. And will, if that is me, I will most certainly deserve the wrath. [/quote]

OP, make plans as you would normally, not factoring in your parents. What would you be doing today if they were not here? What would you be doing tomorrow? Do those things. Just don't participate. They're not staying at your house.[/quote]
