[quote=Anonymous][quote]I don't think that your in-laws are going to stop coming no matter what you say, so I think, as some of the PPs have said, it is about compromise[/quote].

I agree with this.  While the pps are giving you great advice about what to say to MIL, it sounds like she disregards anything you have to say regardless, so it's all moot.

My advice?  be passive-aggressive to get your point across.

1.  Are you okay with them visiting during the day while nanny is with them?  If yes, let that continue.  BUT, sign up baby and nanny for some classes or events at 4pm.  Nanny will have to take baby out of the house and escort them out, lock the door, and leave.  MIL will have no choice but to go home.

2.  If you're not comfortable with MIL being there during the day, then sign baby and nanny up for some class during the morning or afternoon around the time MIL plans on coming.  they'll be out of the house and MIL will have no choice.

If (actually WHEN) MIL complains to you about no one being home or having to leave, be straightforward and explain that you've already told her she can't come and unfortunately you will not change baby's schedule to accomodat her.[/quote]
