How do i deal with my overbearing Inlaws?!

i just feel like all i've been doing is complaining.
my husband is a great family man. he is really concerned about what his parents think , say, etc. its not a bad thing, but sometimes it gets overboard.
in laws have a key to our place (whcih they shouldnt ) and they come over without calling and drives me insane. and my MIL says " OH I NEED MY CHACE FIX" all the freaking time and comes over. its like, goodness i KNOW he's ur first grandchild but this is annoying me sooo much.
grandparents are kind of a novelty. if chace sees his too much he'll get sick of them. but i dont know... they coddle their son's babyish ways and iono.
the last 2 days, we saw them FOUR Freaking times. like good grief. and one of the 4 times we werent gonna show and my MIL sounded upset and then husband got sad bc he thought that he was dissapointing his parents.
its OUR life and i want it to be just that. i dont wanna see them every day, or even twice a week. im sick of them!
we go to church on sudnays and my FIL sits there and says churhc is stupid and cracks church jokes and my BIL just sits there and says Church is for stupid ppl etc. and i dont want my son around that.
oh and my FIL cracks jokes calling his wife fat and etc and its just rude! its like im living with the boondocks ****ty family!

HELP ME BEFORE I GO INSANE>... i wanna move but we cant bc we just put 5% down on our new place.. or can i? i dont know i just hate it here

I definitely think you need to talk to DH about it. If he's not going to stand behind you on not allow them to do whatever they want without your permission you're going to have life long problems.

My family does have a key to our house but my mom would NEVER EVER just come over, well she does but she knocks and if I'm not home or don't answer she wouldn't come in. She respects our privacy.

You're going to have to set up specific times for them to come visit Chace and that's it, no coming over 4 million times a day.

I really hope you and DH can find a happy medium with his parents. If he's not willing to stand up to them you're going to have the problems forever so I hope he can understand.

I am sorry, I guess I just don't understand. I think there should be some boundaries, definitely. They should not have a key to your house. Change the locks. Don't give them a new key. But let them have the time with Chace. Grandparents are not a novelty. They are family and very important. I WISH my children had more than one grandparent.
