" I love my in-laws, but it&amp;#039;s hard when they tell us they&amp;#039;re coming for a visit with only a week&amp;#039;s notice. It&amp;#039;s not always the best time for our family, but my husband refuses to say anything. What can I do? If you had your husband&amp;#039;s support, it would be easier, but with a dose of diplomacy you should be able to take some control. Try making the first move. Instead of waiting for them to invite themselves, suggest a weekend that works for you. They&amp;#039;ll probably be delighted, and you&amp;#039;ll feel less resentful. Perhaps say how wonderful it would be for them to visit during the kids&amp;#039; school vacations, because they&amp;#039;d get more time with their grandchildren. They should get the message.
