[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Count on the IL hating DCUMers to come out in force.[/quote]

If they were helpful, she would be looking forward to their visit. But they are not.[/quote]

Here's the thing. If this is the second visit, did OP really give them the VIP treatment at what would have been even fewer weeks postpartum? She cooked and waited on them with a real newborn? I find this hard to believe. But if so, then yep, ILs were out of line. But I've asked 2x, and OP never comes back to answer this question. Maybe DH was doing all the work? Maybe ILs don't know exactly what to do or how to help.

My point is only in that of course the standard DCUM IL haters would be out in force to promote their agenda.

OP and DH need to use their words and come up with a plan for what is reasonable for how to move forward. I know a friend whose DH wants to do more for his parents when they are here solely because DW's family gets SO much access to them and he feels it's unfair that DW isn't more accommodating in the few times they are there, when her family is up in their business constantly. Do you think her DH loves having to be with her family?

I get that I am reading into OP's situation. But I just think they need to talk and find a healthy way forward for each of them.[/quote]
