[quote=Anonymous]I just tried for a minute to put myself in the DILs shoes and thought back to when my youngest was just born and the ILs lived several hours drive away, and DH did have a couple of business trips in those early weeks. I just tried to imagine my MIL showing up unexpected at my door, with my boob hanging out and covered in spit up and too exhausted to have a conversation with just about anyone, and I want to burst into tears at the mere idea of this. It's harder to put myself in the MILs shoes, but if someone gives a reason they can't do something, whether it's "legit" in my mind or not, you just don't push the issue! Polite excuse or not, you respect a person's wishes in their own home![/quote]
