[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Coincidentally, when my ILs visit, work is SO busy for me! [/b]I have to work late and early, there are work events in the evening, my gym class schedule picks up, I suddenly have to run errands for particular lightbulbs that are sold at the farther away specialty lighting store, etc. It’s so amazing that all of this just happens to coincide with their visits. After years of mounting irritation and frustration with their behavior, I took the “not my circus not my monkeys” approach and let H deal with them. Shockingly, without me there to bear the brunt of their behavior and to shield him from it, he now finds their visits intolerable and the frequency and duration of the visits has decreased drastically since subjected to the full regimen of their outlandish behavior and demands as guests, he doesn’t want a 16 day visit anymore.

This is EXACTLY what I do!

My MIL is like this. She is FINE she just annoys me and honestly OP, that's how I read your post as well. Nothing she did sounds terrible just....annoying. My MIL is the same way. So when they come to visit I make myself scarce. I have work, friends, bingo WHATEVER. But it keeps me calm and makes my husband the host instead. [/quote]
