[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One week into a two week trip to London and Rome with DH, his parents, and our 2 year old. We knew his parents hadn’t gone abroad before and spent their lives in the suburbs, but weren’t expecting them to be as useless as they are in helping with navigating or with the toddler. Example: DH had to do some work, so he stayed back at the hotel and the rest of us went out. I got a little turned around trying to find our bus stop and they literally just stood there saying and doing nothing while I tried to figure out where we needed to go. If DD is having a tantrum about something, they will also just stand and offer no assistance whatsoever.

They offered to babysit, which was great, but only did it if DH figured out how they could watch their TV shows on his laptop. MIL is also constantly complaining about the lack of ice in her drinks. This has become a huge issue.

Anyway, I know things could be much worse, but it’s frustrating feeling like we’re their tour operators.[/quote]

Let me guess.  They paid for your trip, OP?

That is what I think. [/quote]

I said above we all paid our own way. What makes you think they paid?[/quote]
