[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is a week really that big of a deal??  That makes me sad. How often do people's parents/ILs visit?

OP, as far as them just booking it and then telling you, let them know after next week that they need to clear dates with you in advance. And then if they don't next time, make up an excuse about brain out of town for part of that time and force them to reschedule. Once it costs them money not to do it your way, they'll change![/quote]

My in-laws usually visit every 6-10 weeks. They normally stay anywhere from 4 to 10 days. They live across the country, so I could see them not wanting to spend 7 hours traveling (including to and from airport) each way including a three-hour time change, all only for just a two-day visit.

Do you like your in-laws? This arrangement would never fly in my house. [/quote]

Yeah I do like them, and they try very hard to follow my rules with the kids and not step on my toes. They are here now actually - day four of a 12 day visit while my husband is traveling for ten days and our nanny is on vacation. Two full days in of nonstop care and they are looking a little tired. I will probably get a babysitter for the louder more mobile kid for a half day to give them a break on Thursday. [/quote]
