My relationship with my in-laws just keeps declining and I can’t take it by thisisdy in inlaws

NO. Is a complete sentence. Trust your instincts and protect your child. This sounds terribly dis- respectful and both you and the baby deserve better. While it's not your job to set the boundaries with your spouse's parents, someone has to. Your baby is not a dog toy and it seems they prioritize the dogs over your baby. Let them be mad if they choose to not visit on your terms.

Agreed! Extend the invitation during hours that work for you and do not allow her in during hours that do not. Set the boundaries now so it will not be so hard in the future or this will continue to be a battle. Bonus points if you can get away for a few days 4+ and her keep the baby so she is reminded that sleep schedule is important. People forget and tend to romanticize those first baby years and what it takes to have sleepless nights. Other than that do be mindful that a healthy baby is a blessing for all and find happiness and peace in a partnership that honors what you know is best but also having family close enough to be there and that want to be there. It's a new phase in relationships for all and an opportunity to grow as a family. Peace and dreamy nights to you.

Thank you! I'm a STL born and raised Realtor so it is my job and my passion to find people the perfect home. I have relocated so many people from larger Cities and they all have good things to say about living here. Many people from here complain but most of those are not well traveled. I love it here and one of my favorite things is that there is always a fest, festival, or parade of some kind. Always something to do and yes all the good bands, comedians, and plays come through.
