OP is saying over and over again that this situation is not working. She is tired, she needs downtime after work. You keep insisting that she needs suck it up and manage the kids better so her husband can have more downtime. You’re saying it doesn’t matter how she feels and what she wants. [b]You keep insisting that she shouldn’t e tired. Only the DH and Grandma’s preferences matter.[/b] That’s a recipe for a terrible marriage.

Not a single person said that.[/quote]

When you responded, you deleted the history with the posts where people said exactly that.

Your way is to impose rules from OP that MIL must leave by x time or whatever your demand is.  All I (and not just me) is saying is that since OP is tired, she should go to bed or go relax.  She can even ask DH to take care of the bedtime routine before hanging out with his mother if that's the problem.  Keep the kids upstairs if their coming down is the problem.  But if DH likes having his mom there and wants to chat with her, she can't say that MIL has to go over DH's objections.  That's not a reasonable solution if he is not on board because it's his house too.  That is not the same as saying it doesn't matter how she feels and what she wants.  It isn't saying she shouldn't be tired.  It isn't saying that only DH and Grandma's preferences matter. [b] Your[/b] solution is a recipe for a terrible marriage. [/quote]
