[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]True. They are here to visit us and help with the kids, however, so even if they stayed at the hotel at night we would have to go there to visit with them or they would be around most of the day.

The slight was someone said spouse was scaring the kids by yelling at them for acting up.[/quote]

This is what you said prompted your spouse to kick out the family.  WHen your spouse's parenting was criticized by your family, what did you do?  I am guessing that your spouse hit her limit (I think it is a her) and you have been complicit in allowing your family to treat her with little regard and she blew a fuse.  Let the family leave and plan a visit in the future on neutral ground before you do a family gathering at your house or theirs again.  I have been through this and when your spouse's family literally treats you like crap all the time, and when it happens in your own home while you are feeding them and entertaining and cleaning, etc., it is VERY hard to take. You need to have a real discussion with your wife and you need to examine whether you have been taking your parents/sibling's side to such an extent that your wife feels attacked and alone.

And one last thing.  People who criticize other peoples parenting need to be told to shut up.  That is totally inappropriate.  [/quote]
