[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If MIL isn't a shrew, comes from overseas and does not see her grandchildren very often,[/b] I would bargain with DH: 3 weeks but he does at least 50% of the housework while she's there.[b]

The reason for this is that your young children will probably need time to adjust to their grandmother and bond to her (10 days was not enough for my DC2 to take to her grandparents). That is precious, and worth the effort that your husband will make to personally host his mother! With your good self graciously in the background...

Let him make dinner, fetch and carry, plan outings, select the appropriate groceries, thoughtfully launder her clothes the way she likes it, etc... It is a privilege, isn't it?

Right. So go get yourself a stack of books and DVDs.
Claim brownie points in the future for having hosted MIL for THREE weeks.

Been there, done that.

Hiw is this a bargain? He does half the housework? Shouldn’t he be doing 50% of the housework because it’s his house?

SMH you’ve already lost and you don’t even know it. [/quote]
