Seriously?!?!?

My IL's have decided that they need to come visit us this weekend so they can see the progress going on in the house.  They couldn't wait a week and a half when they are HERE FOR CHRISTMAS???  Seriously H is working all weekend, BIL has a million things going on and I have two papers to research and write, classes to register for, a take home final that has to be completed, a power point presentation to complete and a psychology test to study for and all of this has to be done by Tuesday.

Now I have to clean my house and rip apart a bedroom that has been packed away with all our extra furniture so that I can pull out the spare bed and wash all the foffing bedding for it.  Oh yeah and go grocery shopping since we don't have anything here.  What part of why don't you stay home, don't you understand? 

So much for having atleast one day where I could relax and decorate our freaking house for Christmas.

Re: Seriously?!?!?

  • Why couldn't you say "no, see you at Christmas"?

    (Or "O Hells No!")

  • Big No to that one.  That sucks!!!  Would you be able to say no? 
    Baby Birthday Ticker Ticker
  • Yikes. Do you have a pretty candid relationship where you can tell them this weekend isn't a good time and you'd prefer to see them at Christmas? What a headache.
  • Both H and his brother have told them it wasn't a good weekend, it's their other brother who DOESN"T LIVE here telling his parents to come up and see the house.  UGHHHHH

    I can only imagine how long it will take for MIL to get into all my Christmas decorations and start setting stuff up to "help" me.  my jaw is already sore from clenching it.  what a fun weekend......

  • Don't ruin those pretty Detroit teeth by clenching them! Smile

    Sorry, sorry. So it sounds like they're definitely coming. I guess make the best of it with some lots of booze or something. Maybe you can send them out on errands for you? I'll be thinking of you want eagerly anticipating annoying stories.

  • booze.  lots and lots of booze.

    Sending on errands sounds like a great idea!! and the booze part, too!

  • Oh no, that sucks big time! 
  • That really sucks. Sorry they are ignoring how busy you are and still coming in. Hopefully you can still get everything done and not be too bothered by them.

    I second this. It actually helps with the writing, that's how I got my MsC thesis written and delivered!

  • Ugh. I'd try to point them in a direction of hotel. Who does this?!

     the same people who wouldn't stay at a hotel for our wedding while my entire family stayed in one.  Plusalso they kicked our friend and his daughter out of the room that they had been staying in the week and a half prior to the wedding becuase FIL wasn't going to sleep on no gd air mattress.
