Now I feel very mean for typing this but I just need to get it off my chest. I'm in a bad mood because my entire Saturday is being wasted on entertaining my FIL. He came into town at the last minute but H has to work at a training all day today so now I'm stuck at home with my FIL. I don't know him very well so it's awkward. He's very nice but at the same time he can be very annoying and asking me a million questions about things I don't know about (like H's tools and things like that.....).
I know I sound like a brat but I was looking forward to having a "me" day and shopping, watching a girlie movie while I worked on our honeymoon scrapbook, etc and I can't do any of those things today since FIL is here. H will get home later and only get to spend 30 min. with his dad. FIL is not H's favorite person either so he feels really bad about it but still....it stinks!
Thanks for listening to me whine...H knows I'm not happy but I also don't want whine to him about it. I will go back to biting my tongue and smiling now...

It's ok. That is what we are here for
I wouldn't feel too bad. Sometimes you just NEED a "me" day. Sometimes my family asks me to do something on my day off and I am like.... uhhh, sure
. It's awesome, so I feel your pain.
I have spent just a little time with H's family, they live in Oregon and we live in Ohio, and I love it but they speak Spanish and very little English. I love them and I would love to have great conversations but I am not so good at Spanish and worse at practicing.
I feel your pain!!! I LOVE my FIL he's great and he thinks I hung the moon. But he's an alcoholic and the longer he's awake the drunker he gets. Once he gets drunk the stuff he says is a little inappropriate. I have no problem spending time with him I just prefer either H to be there or it be early enough in the day.
No one thinks differently of you because you wanted "me" time. We get it and I think everyone needs alone time every now and then. You don't have to complain to your H just tell him you wanted a little alone time. Maybe then tomorrow you can have a bubble bath all to yourself and relax.
