[quote=Anonymous]I started taking time “off” when MIL visits us. I previously avoided it because I knew she would see it as rude and unwelcoming. Turns out she does see it as rude and unwelcoming, but I no longer care as much what she thinks. When she visits us it’s my vacation too (I’m a teacher and she comes during winter break and spring break) and I need time to recharge. If I skip an activity here and there or just decide to fold laundry upstairs by myself then that’s what I need to do. She has put it on SIL to let us know that she doesn’t feel welcome in our home, but that’s her issue to deal with I guess. We provide all meals, plan activities and pretty much cancel our regular lives for her to visit, so if I can’t take another minute of sitting and “visiting” then I will take a break. Put on your own oxygen mask first, and all that. [/quote]
