[quote=Anonymous]I would set up an errand or appointment I have to do out of the house: “Thank you so much for the break, MiL! Since you’re grabbing the kids at noon, I have a 12:30 haircut/lunch date/paddle board rental/whatever.” When MiL calls last minute, say “Hmm that’s not going to work because I have to leave the house and can’t leave the children unsupervised. I guess I‘ll bring them with me. We’ll have to reschedule.” Keep being unavailable to sit and wait for her. You can also be honest when she calls: “I know that stuff can come up at the last minute, and I certainly relate. It seems like you haven’t been able to make it to our place at 12. Is 2:30 an easier time?” [/quote]
