[quote=Anonymous]Op - I don't think you did anything wrong at all. My brother and sister in law have left their 4 kids with my parents for a week on multiple occasions. My parents are 70.

I think here maybe your efforts to be helpful might have hurt you. FIL and his wife got three kids that had already had long days and been to school, to MILs and had a mother's helper - then they go over to FILs to sleep. I think there was just way too much moving around, too many people involved and too much and instability. They might have been grumpy or just over tired or hyped up by the time they got to FILs. Maybe FIL kept them up a bit to play with them and they ended up wound up or sleep deprived.

Your history with them gave you no reason to think their would be unmanageable. You went out of your way to make it as easy as possible for them. Their anger at you doesn't make sense at all. I hope your conversation with them goes well, maybe just back off a bit on the apologizing and let there be a bit of space for a bit. [/quote]
