[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would be pissed OP. My DH's parents tried to do this back when we had a newborn and DH needed surgery. I asked if they would stay with the baby while I went with DH and they said "No...we need to be with him, you need to be with the baby." I had to hire someone for the day. Absurd.

As my kids are getting older, I sympathize with my MIL more as I could be one before I know it. Of course, I would want to be with my grandchild but I'd also want to be there if one of my children were having surgery - especially if complications could potentially arise. Of course, the spouse would be the final decision maker but I hope she'd/he'd consult us. Of course, that was never an issue with my MIL bc she's super lazy and doesn't like to leave her house so even when her son (my dh) has surgery and treatments for cancer, she didn't show up. But to the pp, I can see why your in laws wanted to be there. My kids will always be my kids and I'll always show up for them even when I'm not in charge.[/quote]
