[quote=Anonymous]My best friend has helpful (well MIL, her FIL is worthless on many levels) but very clingy, needy, dependent inlaws that I've had a front row seat to observe sometimes. Things actually got easier for her about 4 years ago when they moved from being a 4 hour drive away to being 20 minutes up the road. It became shorter bursts, less intense and of course, they weren't house guests. I think that might be key for some actually. Its hard to do weeks on end with someone in your house. So if they want to come more frequently, I can't blame them, for many grandparents the idea that they won't be close to their grandchildren is very anathema to what they saw as a family norm when they were growing up, they may keep the duration shorter now.[/quote]
