[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My ILs buy our daughter (2) various gifts. While generous, all the gifts are baby dolls and baby strollers and the like. Some cooking toys. Anyway, she’ll push the stroller and they’ll tell her, “Aww, Larla, you’ll make such a good mommy.” It drives me nuts. I want to take her outside at times when they’re over (to play) and they always say it’s too cold. [/quote]
How many hours a week are in-laws at your house?[/quote]

Several.[/quote]
Like 2? Or 10?[/quote]

Every Sunday for at least 3 hours. Then childcare 1-2x a week.[/quote]

I think your concerns are fairly unreasonable but honestly, this is an awful lot of in law time for anyone.

Maybe it’s not just this one thing, but a whole lot of annoyances piling up because you are just spending way too much time together.

Can you work with your husband to get those Sunday visits down to once a month?  A little space would do you some good![/quote]

This is sad to me.  My best memory was weekly visits to see my grandmother.  [/quote]
