[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She may be feeling a lot of pressure to make sure you all have fun. What if your DH said, “Mom, you do such a nice job thinking about our visit. How about you make plans for Tuesday? We are up for the farm visit you were talking about for sure. On Wednesday, we will need some downtime. We will stay home and do puzzles, play games and make cookies. No need to worry about us that day - you can stay home with us or go out exploring if you prefer. Also to take some of the planning pressure off you, we will also take care of food/menu planning for Weds. We will keep it simple and make a lasagna and salad - no need for you to do anything. And we will bring ham, sweet potatoes and a pie for Christmas dinner.”[/quote] This sounds perfect. I kind of married into a family like your ILs. There's no guarantee they will listen, but this is a well-reasoned way to make your wishes known. [/quote]
