[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd visit less. This is why we visit less. It's just a hard season of life. I'm barely hanging on by a string, I don't need to go to a small house and try to recreate our current set up there, drag clothes, pack n plays and such and hope the kids are able to sleep well. It's HARD. I agree that ILs should help. When you invite kids, you expect to be able to help because you know it's very, very difficult on parents to travel.[/quote] You have to get out of the house and find things to do. Find the local museums, parks, play grounds, trampoline parks, whatever. You can't recreate the home set up but you can burn your kids out finding things to do then come back, they will maybe nap or play quietly and you can relax a bit. Sitting around the house all day is a recipe for disaster. Maybe if you find something a short drive away the kids will take a nap in the car as well.[/quote]
