"I heard you were upset with not seeing us while DH is deployed. You have to understand that I am just one person, employed full time, managing two children and the house. I can't do everything and I'm exhausted. If you want to see the children, please call and arrange to drive here at a mutually convenient time. When DH comes home, his priority will be to his family, ie me and the kids, so we won't be able to visit you immediately."

I would take the lead here, instead of waiting for a deployed husband to handle it. [/quote]

This is VERY cold, especially towards people who are family.  OP you should not say this unless you want them to dislike you even more.[/quote]

Agree with this. OP, if you have a son, imagine his future wife saying this to you one day. It just sounds AWFUL. Especially the part where PP suggests that you assert that "DH's priority will be his family id me and the kids"--cringe! I get that a DW will feel that SHE and her kids are DH's priority and family....but let HIM say that to his own mother. DOn't be the daughter-in-law who asserts this. And also, gross to imply to his own mom that she is not a priority to her son. Just...ick. Even if that's how you feel, it is hurtful and unnecessary.
So please don't use this advice from the PP, OP![/quote]
