[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DH was like this when the kids were little but has been awesome with them once they hit mid elementary.  I work a very demanding job and his job was like 1/3rd the hours and we had a nanny or after care till 6 but still he felt like he did everything at home so on vacation I was taking 3 under 5 to the beach by myself etc.. I just decided to do what I wanted to do and enjoy it and not let him ruin my vacay if he wanted to sit in the house reading the paper at the beach and planned stuff to make it as easy as possible for me - eg I paid someone to set up an umbrella and chairs for me on the beach every morning, rented a stroller that could lug everything w/ one person, picked a beach with wait service so they could bring lunch down to us etc..  He was just overwhelmed with little kids - you would never guess it today by how involved he is[/quote]

OP these are some great suggestions, and no way in hell does FIL come with you next time. Immediate family only.  My ILs are overwhelming, too because they are all like your DH.  (MIL will help SIL, who is a carbon copy of MIL.  MIL but will not help anyone else, which is just mean and rude.  I would send DH to the IL vacations, and he got the point pretty quick. LOL).

Definitely pay for services, and definitely seek out any assistance with the fostering situation. Your DH will get the point, especially if he is money oriented. [/quote]
