[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The in laws should realize there is not enough space for them to stay with you especially during work and when there is a nanny. They should be more considerate. PP here. I'm sorry OP . This is tough. I do however think you should be able to talk to your DH about it. It's a little worrisome you can't

1. Do your mom and ILs get along? 
2. Do you think DH really wants them to stay there, he has a desire to host them, or just doesn't want them to feel neglected / complain?[/quote]

1. Yes, they do get along. They haven't spent a whole lot of time together because their visits rarely overlap, but yeah, they get along well.

2. I'm really not sure. He handles then okay in small doses and loves them and wishes they had a closer relationship, but there's quite a bit of tension between him and his father, and his parents aren't very easy people to get to know. They are into their computers and watching their tv shows and that's about it. I know DH wishes they'd get out more and do more, but whenever we try to plan outings, small family trips, etc., they always say that they'd rather stay in.

And yes, I know that I should be able to talk more openly about this with my husband, but I really, really have a hard time being critical of other people or saying anything remotely negative. . . hence why I am venting anonymously! [/quote]
