[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Huh? She wants four hours alone with her son. That seems perfectly reasonable. I live across the country from my in-laws and every time we fly out there if it's for more than 24 hours I always make sure to give DH some time alone with his parents.

Are you looking to find offense? [/quote]

We live far from my DH's family overseas and see them once a year (and I would welcome more visits if we could make them-- our relatives are all getting elderly and can't travel here for various reasons). I always encourage DH to spend time alone with his mom. When my own mom, who lived in the U.S., was still alive, DH encouraged me to visit her on my own if I wanted, and when we visited as a family, DH was glad to do things with DD to let me spend time with or help out my mom. (And yes, he and my mom got along great, and I love my MIL, so none of it is about escaping our MILs!)

Adult children do need and want time with their parents, if the relationship is a good one. OP, he should leave you the car, I agree, but otherwise, it sounds as if you might have some larger issues with MIL or your DH way beyond a mere four hours when you have to spend time occupying your kids.[/quote]
