[quote=Anonymous]OP! PP 7:20 and I've given this some thought. Not only do YOU and DH miss out on time together supporting your children, but also I'd argue that to have ILs there at every single event also inhibits YOU from expanding your social circle, meeting other parents,too.

When my ILs are with me/us at games, it changes the whole dynamic! It would be so nice to sit next to DH and share the experience, catch up on our day, or, just watch or participate  together. That all changes with an IL on either side of you. I'm fortunate that ILs drive away after games, but you don't even have that.

Recently, I've taken to skipping out on a game if I know my ILs will be there. Or, I'll arrive late, grab a seat and accidentally on purpose not look for the rest of my family/ILs. Sad, but true.

Talk to your DH and say you miss spending time with him. Hell, toss in that it is inhibiting your sex life and/or is killing your sex drive. I'm sure this is true.

If I knew you in real life, I'd come over and rescue you during an event and invite you to spend time at my house, away from the ILs. [/quote]
