How do you set boundaries?

Hi All-

Like everyone else, my MIL is the biggest PITA.. so is my SIL....

They are always calling and wanting to come over and see the baby or do something with my husband, me and the baby.. it's always just at the wrong times.. they just don't get boundaries and when they should leave us alone...

I consider myself a very nice/somewhat shy person.. I am getting much better with being more stern and letting people know how I truly feel...any pointers?

 I guess the real question is.. how do you all set boundaries with the in laws?

I think your husband should be the one to talk to your in laws about this. Does he not say anything?

You and your DH need to stand as a united front! Although since its his family, he should do the talking. (Good luck with that!) You need to make it clear that family time for the three of you comes first and that you will not be making yourself available to them 24/7!
