  Oh my goodness. That's a long time to only be around family. Can you get out and go shopping or something at least? Go for lunch by yourself, take many, many naps?

  I thought one day with the ILs was enough. I think your DH needs to treat you to a massage, or dinner or something when you get home.

  I cant get out of here by myself. They all treat me like I am going to break if I do! So annoying! And naps are impossible with the kids screaming and crying because they cant open a toy or have cookies for breakfast. I have been using it as a learning experience on whet NOT to do in the parenting department!

  Sounds to me like you should take hubbies credit card and go back to the hotel for some peace and sanity haha .I managed about 6 hours of Family Xmas with 18 people total.. I could not have had a week of it and I love my inlaws... well most of them lol
  
  yup I see a hotel room and some relaxaton in your future... before you start having issues and peeing on stuff too  
  
  Failing that..get a friend to call in an emergency/escape clause.. tell you that "something" needs your attention.. something plausible that wont cause panic in case someone offers to come with you haha.... tell hubby to find a ride home after his trip and go home and chill.

  If I could just leave DH here, I totally would. But it's a 9 hour drive back to Ohio from NC. I am sitting in the living room on my computer while everyone else is in the dining room playing cards. I can't go to any of the bedrooms because there are kids sleeping. I'm going insane.

  His uncle has a 4 year old who tells him what they're going to do for the day and she is driving me insane! She told him today "Papa, here's what we're going to do today. We're going to eat cookies and milk for breakfast (which they did), we're going to paint our nails, you're taking me to the movies and shopping (again they did this as well), and then you can do what you want. But we have to do my stuff first."

  And my SIL and BIL think everyone else is supposed to watch their 4 year old daughter and 17 month old son. I love my niece and nephew but I should not be the one breaking up fights between them because she can't share her toys. And she stuck her tongue out at me and my older SIL today when we told her to pick up a toy. So she got sent to the corner where she screamed how much she hated us for 10 minutes and everyone thought it was funny. All I keep hearing is "Are you sure you're ready for this?" Uhm well yes because my son isn't going to tell me what to do nor is he going to ever be allowed to scream at his aunts or uncles the way my niece screamed at me today. And it's a little late in the game to be questioning whether we're ready for Mason to be here or not.
