My ILs drive me crazy
Two Fridays ago they call us and ask if we want to go out to dinner that Saturday, uh, no, already have plans, you can't call us on short notice and just expect us to be free. So they said how about the Saturday before Thanksgiving, we said that should be fine and we'll keep our calendar clear for that day.
As soon as DH got off the phone with FIL I said, "just wait, they are going to call us at the last minute and tell us they changed plans and want us to come to their house instead of meeting half way". When DH talked to FIL, FIL said he had to work on Thanksgiving and they weren't planning to do anything for it, DH told him it was ok and we were already planning to have Thanksgiving here on our own, because I can't travel too far.
DH decided yesterday to be nice and invite SIL to Thanksgiving at our house, he had called her on the way home from work, when he walks in the door he looks at me and says, "well, you were right, FIL and SMIL are having Thanksgiving dinner at their house this Sunday instead of meeting them somewhere for dinner Saturday". AYFKM?! Who knows when they were actually going to tell us, probably the day before cause they like to spring things on us at the last second. DH has already said to me we are not going because it pisses him off when they pull this crap, and we had agreed to meet them somewhere half way in between because of the traveling. Oh well, it's their loss, if they want to see us before I have the baby they can either meet us half way or they can be the ones to make the long drive.
Re: My ILs drive me crazy
At least your DH is on board with you! Mine still sticks up for his mother and it pisses me off to know end, but at least he knows how I feel about them and really doesn't make me do to much with them.
We were suppose to be going to the lake for turkey day but now my parents have decided to do it in town instead. Well they want to invite DH's parents up, which just pisses me off. I told them no I don't want them around. If they can't acknowledge me, why do I want them there, but after thinking about it all morning, I told my mom to invite them. Really I should take not liking DH's parents out on him, and I get to be with mine, so he should see his too.
