UrbanBaby Asks...
Do you 'enjoy' spending time with your kids?
- Yes, most of the time we really have fun together
- Sometimes it's fun, sometimes it's really dull and aggravating
- Honestly most of the time it's not fun at all, but it's not supposed to be fun
- I really don't enjoy it at all, and wish I could spend less time with them

I'm not sure what to do. My MIL really is a mean person. She is perfectly nice to me and to my DD but she goes out of her way to be vindictive to most people, including my parents. About to have 2nd baby and she wants to come stay with us.. I sooo don't want he around but she does not live close by. how do i protect my sanity, my family, and still show some respect to DH who wants his mom to be involved too?

I'll need someone to help cook and clean and take care of (older dc), so that I can take care of the baby". This sets the tone because most people who come to "help" only want to deal with the baby and that is the exact opposite of what you really need.
