[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You allow them to behave this way, so why would it change or stop?

Stop it gently NOW before you get yourself burned out and inconvenienced into a really bad mood or bad incident.

"Barbara, Ted, we love seeing you and having you stay over. But we really need you to talk the dates through with us before you make plans. With the kids in soccer now and Bill and I both working, it's just not realistic for us to do spur-of-the-moment visits. We need to be able to plan and prepare. Thanks for understanding."[/quote]

You REALLY have to say something today, even if it's for next time.  "... you need to run the dates past us.  We are extremely busy those days and will have to leave things for you to fend for your selves for this trip.  In the future we will need to talk about dates in advance."

Nope.   Some day YOU will be the MIL.   Imagine your future DIL writing you this kind of note.      [/quote]

NP. If you are the kind of MIL who invites herself to stay over without checking with son and DIL first, then you deserve to get this kind of note.[/quote]
