[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s just obtuse to keep repeating that the in-laws can move where they want. Of course they can. But they are not moving, it seems, because of the nice trees and walkability. They are moving because of OP’s family. You want to pretend that the in-laws don’t have a vision of increased participation in OP’s family’s lives? [/quote] Yes, and? They can have a "vision" all they want; doesn't mean OP needs to bend her reality to meet that vision. Use your words: "Sunday won't work for us. How about the third Saturday in July?" Don't give a key. If they drop by unannounced, say hello from the doorway, don't invite them in, and ask them to call so you can plan time to get together soon. Yes, they can move wherever they damn well please. But they can't get a key just because they ask for one; they can't gain entry into the house unless someone unlocks the door and holds it open; they can't MAKE OP's family show up for Sunday dinners.
