The in laws have been coming over to our place almost every weekend and lo is already 2 years old. Always buy a lot of ingredients (fish/ meat etc) (when I told them not to) and started doing household chores like it's their own house! I know they are nice BUT!!! Sometimes I really hope they don't meddle so much. Sigh. So Weekends ended up staying home that we don't have our own personal family time at all / too tired to go out after their visit. I feel very frustrated and seems to have no other way to stop them since it's their first grandchild. I also can't stand that they insist on speaking in English (very broken ones). when LO can understand mandarin perfectly fine. Then I need to re-teach LO again that the English used was wrong. How to let them know in a tactful way? Am I the only one thinking that way?? ?

Agree that it's rather intrusive to get your inlaws around every weekend. Why not switch tactics and go over for an hour or two every weekend instead? This way you can spend time alone in your house, or you get to go out after the small outing to their place. You can always give the excuse that it's better for you guys to go over so that LO knows that is grandpa/grandma house and knows that every week have to visit.
