Omg this is totally my MIL! Do I understand how you feel OP.  I've communicated with her as per DCURM and she flat out refuses by saying she hasn't been shown how or she volunteers my DH or her DH instead. Who doesn't know how to do laundry or load the dishwasher? She also has a very limited diet and we run around trying to accommodate. Surprisingly, my parents have actually been helpful and take charge cleaning, cooking, holding baby. [b]I feel bad but wish we could invite them more often than MIL and FIL.[/b][/quote]

Of course you can! Visitors that actually help and make your life easier and that you enjoy get to come more often!  Limit the visits that exhaust you, have more of the visits that restore you.  No question. [/quote]

I mean bc it's not fair to DH. He does get somewhat annoyed at his parents but understandably wants to see them. Money is tight and that's why both sets of our parents stay at our house (not at the same time!) instead of a hotel. I'd love if MIL and FIL would stay in a hotel! [/quote]
