[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Let them come and put them to work while they are visiting. "MIL, can you hold the baby while I go to the bathroom?" "SIL, the baby's napping, can you run to the store and pick up these things?" "MIL, can you put the load in the hamper into the washing machine? Your grandson goes through sleepers so fast, it's hard to keep up with him!" "SIL, can you watch the baby on the playmat while I grab a quick shower?" There are so many new parents that come on to DCUM complaining about not having enough time to eat, bathe and go to the bathroom. Take advantage of having two extra adults in the house who can help you with the multi-tasking jobs enough so that you can get basics like eating, showering and bathroom breaks in.[/quote] OP, send a text letting them know they'll be on call -- "Great, the new baby has really thrown us off and we'd love to have people to help out for a weekend." It may turn out they have to go back earlier than Sunday. [/quote]
