My son is 15 months old. Since he was born, my MIL has had this thing that she and her family need to see our son the same amount as my family. My MIL, FIL, and SIL live 45 minutes away (BIL is 5 hours away). My family lives 15 minutes away. We do see my family more, but not that much more. Plus, I think it's ridiculous to keep things equal! DH and I would go crazy trying to do that. Our solution so far has just been to be vague about when we see my family. The issue right now is we had planned a 5 year anniversary trip and had been planning on my parents watching him (they are a lot younger and in much better health than my in laws). MIL is putting on all this pressure because it's her "turn" since my parents watched LO when we went to an overnight wedding (MIL was at the wedding). So, I pretty much would rather cancel the trip than leave our son overnight with them. I'm just not comfortable with it. What should I do? So frustrated😞
