[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Honey, if a babysitter did what your parents did, we'd fire them, instantly. I want your parents to spend time with the kids, but they can't babysit. Let's not set your parents up to fail by leaving them alone, even for five minutes, with the kids." Also: You're with them for Thanskgiving and Christmas? And giving up your family vacation? Nope. Nope, nope, nope, never agree to this again. [/quote] I like this phrasing. Make it about not letting them do something to ruin the relationship. I also agree with posters about just not letting it happen rather than making a grand announcement ahead of time to ILs. You should be on same page with husband before trip though; no "let's see how they do" because that is a recipe for DH getting pressured into something while you are out of the room. [/quote]
