No, she does not sound entitled, she sounds tired. You, on the other hand, sound bitter and miserable.[/quote]

+1.  I hated visiting my in-laws for holidays when my kids were younger.  My in-laws are perfectly nice, but they never offered to help, and my SAH spouse viewed it as an opportunity to get a break from the kids and visit old neighbors and friends while I looked after the kids.  I'd want the kids to be on their best behavior, but they'd get bored and act up far more than usual because their routines had been upset.  It's gotten better as the kids got older, but usually I just prefer for my spouse to make a side trip home to visit her parents during the holidays.  I take time off from work and the kids and I usually have a blast at home.  If the in-laws really want to see their grandkids, they are welcome to come visit us.  [/quote]
