I'm sure many of you had this experience before. I'm in need of some moral support. My inlaws will stay here for 2 weeks. Every time they visit we end up having... erhm... issues.

Just make sure to have lots of middle-of-the-night encounters, being as loud as possible. They'll get the hint.

Sounds like a great plan, but since they will be using the kid's bedroom, the kid will sleep with us.

Nah, that department is up to date. Is mostly the usual "you are not good enough for my daughter" kind of attitude. Like:
Me - Welcome to our new house!
Them - This small matchbox a house? You wish!

It used to be like that with me. I relocated 2000 miles away. Now they come for 2 weeks only, but they <nasty thing here> 100 x times more to make up for it.  |

I had the same problem initally.
I told them (after a chat with the wife in advance), straight out, that I dont appreciate their comments and they can keep them for themself. If not, they would not be welcome in my house. Just make sure you behave like the grown up and dont get goated into a fight. This will usually do the trick, if they are sensible adults.
If not, your in serious troubles, and might need to play tough and deny them come visiting. Which off course, will set you on a collision course with your wife....

The trick with in-laws is to emigrate. It worked for me.

Four days gone, 10 more to go. I'm holding on. As usual, they have made up a few new rules to annoy me. As usual, my wife told me "let's play along, it's just two weeks" 
So far:
 Microwave is not good for you. Thou shall not use the microwave.
Modern diapers are bad. The baby shall use cloth diapers from now on.
Thou shall clean the carpet every day because of cloth diaper leakage.
Thou shall not use the air conditioner because it's unhealthy.
Why oh why I didn't marry an orphan girl!

WTF mate.
Tell them to go bugger off to a hotel.
Any in-laws that come in and say how to run you and your wife's home.
I'd pull a Brokeback Mountain on them (no not the poofta thing silly). The particular scene where Jake Gyllenhall has enough of his fracking in-laws during an American Thanksgiving dinner. He basically tells them to STFU. (in a slightly more elequent way, but still as rude.)
In other words, it's your home, not thiers. Stand up for yourself and your wife, and your 'family'. Your wife may give you a look that's either one of respect, if she's not particualrly fond of it either, or you'll just get a cold look for a few days.
Either way, get rid of the tension, and set YOUR HOUSEHOLD rules.
You don't complain to your in-laws when you visit thier place (out of curtosey), the same should be true for them. It's that simple.
But um, yeah that's what I'd do anyways. *shrugs* If worse comes to worse, they'll simply leave for having the balls to stand up for what's yours and your families values, and that can't be too bad eh?

Hmmmm... I've never had any problems with inlaws.
Just smile, be humble. And if they bring up stupid rules like that just laugh like if it were a joke. Give them no ammo.

What this man says!
When you get married, you and your wife become the new strong family unit, and the parents are now secondary, and oustide of that. This is strengthened even more by the fact you and your wife have at least one kid.
They have no right to come into your house and ask you to make changes.
Well, maybe the tiniest of requests for their comfort that you would do out of courtesy. I'm thinking "Can you get some diet coke please as I'm not so fond of the usual stuff" .. max!
Not what type of nappies for your kid, not turn your air con off.

I really don't know what's wrong with them. My former inlaws from a previous marriage were bad, but not even close to this. The first time they visited (years ago) I though "gee, these oklahomans are weird". But in later years I have met some other oklahomans that are perfectly normal people (except for the country music).
I think they are doing this on purpose to provoke me. If we have an argument, my wife will take their side no matter what. I'm sure they know that. I have to keep my cool. If I loose control, the argument will be epic and could easily end in divorce with my kids being ransomed (child support).
Right now, they all went out for dinner (no invitation for me, what a surprise). I'm taking the opportunity to sabotage the stereo and avoid hearing the evil country music. I also told my wife the counter argument that "the computer can overheat" and I've installed a borrowed window a/c on the room.
It's just a few days more, I think I can make it. I just needed to vent.
Thanks for the moral support guys. May the faction spawns be yours!

1. Get them to mind the baby while you go out with wife. Will make wife happy, inlaws happy.
2. Crush father-in-laws hand everytime you shake it.
3. Don't be a slack arse round the house.
4. Do the mum if all else fails.

Microwave is not good for you. Thou shall not use the microwave.
Microwave radiation is non-ionizing. All it does is make the water molecules in food vibrate (thus producing heat). Next time they sit down for dinner, toss a scoop of frozen veggies on their plate and tell them to start shaking them.
Quote:
Modern diapers are bad. The baby shall use cloth diapers from now on.
Cloth diapers cause bed-sore like abrasions on the child due to the chafing of the cloth, where the stretchable disposable diapers just leave creases where the bands press against the skin.
Quote:
Thou shall clean the carpet every day because of cloth diaper leakage.
Duct tape is your friend, though your child may not be after use.
Quote:
Thou shall not use the air conditioner because it's unhealthy.
It is no worse than a central heating system; the refrigerant does not make contact with the air, and that is the only component of the air conditioner that is even remotely hazardous. If they are trying to argue that being "cold" makes you sick, I suggest you laugh in their face. You'd have to crank the AC all the way down, stand wet and naked next to a vent to get hyperthermia (the only cold temperature-related ailment.)
