I do know I am really, I'm just venting.
My DPiL are lovely but feel the need to be involved in everything we do. They come over uninvited and unannounced, have invited themselves on days out and holidays (and look wounded if we dare to say no, we'd like a little time to ourselves). We even have to play things down to try and avoid them wanting to go. They are lovely and we do do lots of fun things with them.
Now I have bought a piece of land and am growing fruit and veg on it, it is my space and sanctuary from the world - I go there when I want peace and tranquility. My cabbages are my stress vent. DPiL insist they want to see it - I don't know why, it's not pretty. I know it's only a small thing but I really don't want them to - it's mine and I don't want to share it!! Selfish only child moment I know but I share the whole of my life with others (DH, DPiL etc) and I just want a little piece for me.
It's lovely that they see me as an extension to their family but they don't recognise that me and DH are also our own little unit too.
