[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A simple rule to follow in how you deal with in-laws when it comes to issues such as visiting: if you have a good relationship with your own parents how would you deal with them when it comes to handling a visit without notice? If you would let it pass, then do the same with your in-laws. Always keep in mind that although you are obviously closer and more comfortable with your family, your husband parents probably  mean a lot to him. Treat his parents like you would your own. Trust me when I say that in most cases it will pay dividends both in your relationship with them and with your husband.[/quote]

The problem with this approach is different families have different expectations for privacy. I'm not OP, but my own parents don't stop by without notice. They have keys to our house (in case we're out of town and ask them to bring in mail or feed the cat), but they'd NEVER just let themselves into my house. So I'd be pretty upset if my in-laws did that, even knowing that in other families impromptu visits are the norm.[/quote]
