If it is a worry about lack of exposure to Indian culture, can you find some weekend activity for your children that focuses on Indian culture? What religion are they? Maybe find a temple with youth activities? Language classes? Then you can say, "Sorry MIL, the kids are at thier [IL native language] class this weekend, so another time would be better"? Might be more effective then "sorry, the kids have soccer." [/quote]

Thanks for the suggestion. I think my MIL would say, 
oh I can come to their Hindi lessons/temple etc with them and don't worry we have the other 5 days of our visit to spend with them![/quote]

Maybe you can ask you in-laws to take them to their Hindi lessons/temple -- that way they are out of your hair and the kids are spending more time with them.  [/quote]

That's a few hours they're off your back. Also, if the ILs really are just coming out of obligation and not because they enjoy it, knowing the kids are involved in temple/Hindi lessons might make them feel less obligated to visit so often because they know the kids are still getting the culture.[/quote]
