Did you really need to post ELEVENposts in a row? Maybe it's time to find some 'Internet forums for beginners' textbooks at a local library?

Fair enough, but if your daughter in law was at her wits end and there were dishes in the sink, would you add to those dishes, or maybe help clean them? Things like that. I don’t expect my parents to come to my house and clean, but they tend to get more things out and we have to clean up after them as well as the kids, it creates more work. That’s all.
My mom keeps saying she wants to watch the kids for us, but she’s never changed a diaper, and when I asked her too she made an excuse. How can you watch my kids if you can’t change Simon’s diaper? So I mention that and she doesn’t have an answer. Discussion should be over, but a week later she will start asking to watch the kids again.
Maybe I am coming off wrong, but it’s just something we have been going through since my parents have become grand parents.

Each time Lilly would fuss slightly, she would find something else to be critical about. Eventually I got fed up and I told her that I needed her to stop being so critical and start being more helpful, and that everyone else was more helpful, especially my in laws (SIL, MIL etc). She immediately started helping me.
Important to note, I have a great relationship with my parents and there was only a slight tinge of frustration in my tone, really not that mad about it. I don't expect much to change long term and I'm fine with that.
