[quote=Anonymous]Most of you (not Op) are insane and clearly eager for a scapegoat (now Op).  Op, if you are still reading, ignore the haters. I understand completely what you are saying, and I have never walked in even close to your shoes because my parents and inlaws never accomodate us in any way nor do they offer help - but I can still see your point, and I can see your appreciation for your inlaws. My advice is that you just have to trudge through this time in life (with the help of a lot of coffee) and this, too, shall pass - before you know it your kids will be older and travelling with them will be easier. For now, from time to time I suggest you do overtly ask for someone to watch the kids while you shower or take a run or whatever, and they may surprise you by being happy to help when asked. Also, keep in mind your IL's side of the situation - they may be exhausted hosting you all for the week and not have much else to "give," and also they may be really happy to see their son not just their grandkids and want to spend time with you all (not just watching the grandkids so you and dh can catch a movie).
