[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, is this your first child?   Are your in laws local?

I just wanted to give you my perspective, as a mom of two school aged children, in a family that has had serious health problems and other difficulties.   ARe these people good and kid, just a little socially clueless?   Yes, you need to set boundaries, but having local grandparents who are willing to help you out with the kids is worth SO SO MUCH.  Especially if both you and your husband work.

Would they be willing and capable to watch your sick child?   To help out with the older one, when you have the younger one in the hospital?   HANG ON TO THEM.   Local grandparents who are willing to help out (and are capable) are worth their weight in gold.

And yes, of course, you should lock your doors when you nap.[/quote]

I respectfully disagree. Grandparents are only helpful when they play by your rules. My MIL is local and life would be so much easy for everyone  if she was not trying to "help". [/quote]
