I feel like Scrooge!

I usually love the holidays, but I just can't wait to get them over with this year.  I'm so sick of the drama from my inlaws who have invited themselves and their 4 kids.  We spent over $500 meeting their demands at the grocery store, just to find out they don't plan on showing up for Christmas dinner until 7pm!  They are going to Disney first, then to FIL's for an "early dinner."  They are leaving the kids here for 2 days, while they go to the Vinoy.  I'm also stuck with MIL for the ENTIRE week. 

H is getting frustrated too, and it's his family!  I said he needs to tell them that we're going to charge a nightly fee just like a hotel!  At 8 months pregnant I'm not about to cook and clean all day and night for these people. 

Sorry...rant over. Devil

  • I'd be annoyed too.  Tell them plans changed & you're going out of town.

  • Oh hellz no.  You and your H need to learn to tell them no!
  • That's a lot to expect from regular person, let alone a pregnant lady! I hope your H will help stand up for you and remind his family you're very pregnant and they need to be self sufficient.

  • I should start handing out backbones around here.  You should have said no months ago.

    They were going to come for Thanksgiving, and decided not to.  They just decided to come now, about 2 weeks ago.  And it's not entirely my decision.  Had we known what this was going to turn into, we probably would have.  But the plans have changed about 20 times in the past two weeks.

    I was trying not to be Scrooge.  But clearly next year I will be. Sad
