[quote=Anonymous]OP - when my MIL/FIL come to visit, they do not do much as far as help. I learned long ago to let my DH plan for their visit and help. I don't plan dinners when tey are coming because I have babies and don't have time. If DH cares that his parents have a hot (not take-out) meal, it's on him to get it done. Same for planning the day's events. If his parents want to go out and about, need rides, other anything else - again, I don't do a thing. I let DH plan it, execute it, etc. My job is to take care of my baby - not take care of able-bodied adults. Also, my DH doesn't plan meals or activites for my parents - I do. He will help me, of course, and I would help him, but the planning is on me. He doesn't feel one iota of guilt if nothing is planned for my parents or if we all sit around looking at each other (or if he is alone with my parents while I nurse the baby), so I do the same with him. Your parents, your repsonsibility. His parents, his responsibility. [/quote]
