[quote=Anonymous]My MIL used to show up week nights and it did annoy me because she's picky and I felt like I had to do a big dinner for her and it was stressful. She didn't lift a finger, ignored the kids and we were waiting on her, it was awful! I think she could tell (because I was bitchy I'll admit!) and now things have improved.

For a while she would cook at our house but that was a mess too because she literally would manage to use every pot and pan, fancy serving dishes/platters etc and leave us with mountains of dishes! And if it's about seeing the kids she didn't much because she was cooking for a full hour. Don't want to complain about a home cooked meal but yeah I am. Eventually she starting cooking the meal at home (she's retired so literally has all day) and then heating it up to serve. It is SO much easier. I actually enjoy my time with her and am not stressed. It feels like we've found s groove. It's a help, not a burden. Such a relief.

OP maybe you can pick a night for example - tell them you know they are so busy how about you come over ever Wednesday night and bring dinner? And occasionally offer to babysit a Saturday night so mom & dad can go on a date [/quote]
