[quote=Anonymous]My ILs always take us out to eat once a visit, which I really appreciate. As the kids have gotten a little older, they're also really good at entertaining them and just being present however the kids want them to be. My MIL usually finds some task to do--sweeping the floor, washing dishes. She even cleaned our fish tank one time. My mom is great with dishes and laundry. We got sick one time when she came to visit, and one of our pets was very ill, and Mom just chugged through laundry and helping with the baby and all kinds of things. We are really, really fortunate. It's helped us have more frequent visits to know that the load will be lightened and that they don't expect us to do everything. In your case, you just may need to set some boundaries and have visits at a pace you can handle if they're not going to help. [/quote]
