We are at the IL's at the moment with our 2 children 5 and 7.
Obviously the children are excited as are on holiday and the IL's have quite a large house and garden so they are having great fun.
Anyhow mealtimes they have got a bit excitable and they have wanted to stay up longer at bedtime but the IL's feel they should be in bed at a certain time.
Also they have been eating quite a bit and MIL is very strict about eating bewtween meals and they are not allowed to help themselves to food in the cupboard .
So that has been a bit stressful as they are whining because they are hungry .
DH's 2 brothers and there children are due to visit after we have left and I always get the impression they are the golden grand children and model sons and daughter in laws.
I have been helping out in the garden and cooking etc .
They had visitors for dinner on sunday and the children and DH left the table and I went to fetch something, on my way back I heard MIL at the table saying how tired she was and how would she feel by the the end of the month after her other sons and grandchildren had visited.
FIL then said "well that's ok ,there's a different score of people coming"
In other words I took that to mean the other grandchildren are better behaved and the other sons and daughter in laws help out more.
Am I being totally over sensitive about this?

To be upset by FIL's comment or have I mis understood it?
