[quote=Anonymous]There's a song stuck in my head called "Let it go." OP, you're not going to do yourself or anyone any good by continuing to talk about this. Instead of pushing, just back off for awhile. Don't expect them to babysit, let a few weeks pass before you invite them over. Your FIL and his wife clearly had no idea what they were getting themselves into, despite your efforts to prepare them. That's kind of on them, but, at the same time, it's likely never anything they're going to admit. Who wants to hurt their pride by admitting that? I bet a lot of the anger is cover up for embarrassment--this week taught them just how old they are. You learned something importance about your ILs' limits. I don't think I'd ever ask them to be in charge of an overnight again at this point. And if they bring up the subject again, just smile and thank them for handling the situation. Be gracious. What does your DH say about any of it?[/quote]
