[quote=Anonymous]It sounds like your husband needs to cut the cord and is enjoying these winter vacations to Florida a bit too much.... Does he realize holidays are about creating traditions and being with family and not just lounging at a Florida pool...
I like my in-laws but it took several conversations with my husband after we had kids that visits to his parents were not me babysitting all weekend while he laid on the couch and watch sports with his dad..... He truly didn't understand why he couldn't do that anymore once we had children. Now I don't care if he lays around watching sports, but he needs to do his fair share of child labor just because we're visiting his parents does not mean I'm his on-call nanny. One trip we were there for 3 days and I swear I don't think he got off the couch for more than 30 minutes the entire time. His mom would cook his food and bring it to him. He would take naps him and his dad would watch sports and war movies and I'm wrestling with and trying to entertain a 2-year-old in a non-child proof old house..... While his mom continued to repeat stories about people, I do not know.... Let's just say that experience never happened again[/quote]
