[quote=Anonymous]This sounds a lot like my in laws (minus the sleeping until noon part), and honestly a lot of older people are like this IME. The suggestion of staying at a hotel is a good one (and framing it as “so the kids’ noise doesn’t wake you up early” Beyond that, I’d make plans to do things during the day, and they can choose to join you or not. We don’t just sit around the house all day when we visit my ILs. We take the kids to the zoo, park, etc. and ILs are invited to join. Does your DH have any old friends still living in their area? Sometimes we visit my DH’s old friends for a few hours when we are in town (letting the ILs know well before the visit that we will be absent for a few hours) which is a nice break. I’d also consider sending DH with one or both kids sometimes, with you staying home. [/quote]
