O.K.
So... Is it normal to not want to talk on the phone to my husbands mother EVERY-DAY?? Am I wrong for getting annoyed that his grandmother comes over every-day??
I seriously dont feel like talking to or entertaining these people constantly..
Sometimes I just want to be left alone... And I would rather it be for long periods of time rather than short periods of time.

marriedmomof3 Omg I would go crazy if it was everyday
have you tried to talk to your husband about this? Letting him know, hey dude ya know I need a day just to me? Maybe not those words but still.
I am surprised that they don't want a day a lone.

I wish you well

Sounds like the tvshow Everybody Loves Raymond. Things like this can get to be a habit, and then they will say they are coming over so YOU don't feel bad. I get it about the longer rather than shorter - I need a long stretch of time to myself or else I get nothing accomplished, I feel anxious.

It's YOUR life. They have had their go. You wouldn't do this to a future DIL. It will be scary and they may get angry and cry or retaliate - or they may do as my mother did and say, well, if it was what you wanted, YOU should have said so, don't blame ME now, you just didn't want it bad enough! So respect YOURSELF - and give yourself and your kids the life YOU want for them, not one defined by old people. If they want to help on your terms, great. They want to see the kids, hopefully they go along. Good luck!

Completely normal!! Everyone needs a day to themselves. Talk to your husband about it and maybe together you can approach his mom/grandmother

Seems like you are missing some boundaries:
