MIL Vent
So, MIL wants to come visit in April. That's totally fine. But, I mentioned to her that we were trying to find a weekend that we could go visit her, too. She doesn't really have any time off until she comes to visit us in April. So, I was all like, OK no big deal, we'll figure something out.
Well, now she wants us to come visit Feb 18/19 and, from what it sounds like, she has her heart set on it. I have to work, and I don't think I can get out of it. She didn't even ask me if I was free, just said "That weekend looks good, yay!". Now, I'm going to have to be a b*tch and tell her that doesn't work.
Not to mention, that I pretty much have all my weekends scheduled like a month in advance AT LEAST because my life is busy and I work some weekends and there's lots of stuff going on.
I guess I'm just annoyed that because I mentioned that we wanted to come visit that she scheduled something for us w/o even asking - like now I feel like she's rushing it and pressuring us. Blerg.
I know this isn't really a big deal. It's just annoying.
Re: MIL Vent
That is frustrating! Sorry you have to deal with it. I wouldn't feel too bad about telling her no, if it doesn't work it doesn't work. Also on a side note Presidents Day is February 20th so airfare if you need it would be a lot higher.
Good luck!

He takes too long and hardly ever responds to her before she gets to me. It's SUPER annoying. Ugh.
Lol, then I would just go ahead and tell her the truth, that you need to work and it's probably not the best weekend for a visit. Hopefully she decides to come another weekend on her own!

This sounds perfect to me......she comes that weekend, and your DH gets to entertain her the whole time because you have to work. Haha!
That really stinks. Honestly, just be up front with her. Tell her you have to work and cannot be calling off 2 weeks before. And if she gets mad, then tell her you would really like to reschedule! Or have her come to you and force DH to entertain her haha
Ugh, totally annoyed for you!.... but no worries- call her- the sooner the better, and just explain to her you have "this thing" going on at work- and its mandatory for everyone to be there, and that you are super bummed that weekend will not work for you guys. If she doesn't understand then, well.... just know- it is what it is, and you are not a bad person- she is just difficult! lol
