The biggest problem we seem to be having with this is the expectation that we'll be 100% available and willing to give up any other plans that we may have when any of his family suddenly decides they're coming to town to stay with us. Since we're in a major city, they tend to come up frequently for sporting events, kid tournaments, etc. I have 2 teenagers from my prior marriage, so we're already pretty busy. I also value our couple time. However, my H will do whatever his family wants.
