you guys make my inlaws sound like saints, they
both live far, but they seem to be pretty nice to me, although we get some
critizing, not much, more when we were first married, guess they figure after
almost 20 years, that is the way I am. ml

Wow that sounds SO familiar! (not the bedding so
much - but the other stuff!) They expected me to wait on them hand and foot too and to entertain
them as well. They broke all the house rules. They complain about every meal.
MIL has even said I should iron DH underwear. She criticizes every aspect of
my house keeping. (Sometimes I know she makes things up.) Last time I had a
professional service clean the day before mil and FIL arrived (without her
knowing) and she still complained. I just found out today that they called my
dh at work and told him that they might be visiting after the new year begins.
I told him he better make it clear that they will be staying in a hotel. I am
hoping they just don't come.

Wow, you're a much better woman than I. I too avoid the phone
calls (not too tough since they hardly ever call anyhow). They came to
visit once - Faith was a month old. They expected me to wait on them
hand and foot, even wash their bedding every day, which was really bizarre
since they only bathe like once a week, if that. I tried showing them
how to use the wash machine and do it themselves, but they wouldn't.
Plus my mil had a cold and gave it to Faith. I ended up spending most
of their stay holed up in my bedroom while my DH was at work! I'm sure
they won't come to visit again soon. I told DH if they do, they can
stay in the hotel down the street! We really don't have much room for
guests anyhow either! What's worse, is that my mil told dh's best
friend after that that I should be out on the street for "making" dh help me
with the house work! Good thing I wasn't around to hear that
comment! Pamela Hanson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

I had a similar situation. Fortunately my
MIL/FIL live in another state. I suddenly developed a "dislike" of planes
and travel. I just happen not to be around when they call or DH calls
them. (This stopped the anatomization or fake friendliness on the
phone) Problem solved on my end. :) The only times they ever came here no
one had a good time and they stayed too long on all occasions - and
refused to stay in a hotel. I got rid of the guest bed after the last
visit. We simply don't have the room now. I occasionally send a kind
and non-personal card with photos of kids so they don't feel left
out. Beyond that the ball is in their court.
I sincerely wish them well. I hope their days
are filled with happiness and their nights with sound happy
sleep.
Best wishes!
Pamela

I was getting that crap from my in-laws when Faith was only 9
months old...not looking forward to their comments next time we see them
if she's still nursing then. My fil totally humiliated and
degraded me in front of a bunch of people back then, and really upset
me, so it will probably be a LONG time before we see them again...so
maybe she will be done nursing by then! Tami Spillman
