One day, when you're old and death is near, you'll think about your life. And you won't even remember this problem here. That's how important it is.

They invited themselves without consulting anyone about the dates. Momma said no so they went behind her back to daddy. Momma still trumped it so they played the medical/pity card.

Momma should allow daddy to bribe her. Wisconsin has a good O-line and a decent running back. It will take a good bribe to miss that. New rims on the house or something...

Oh yeah, inviting guests and disappearing for four days in the middle is BS, just like saying I am woman and not having pictures of self and sandwiches in the OP.

Not to these people. My Father died a few months ago and not only did they not bother to come to the funeral, they didn't send flowers or a card or acknowledge his passing in a telephone call to me or their grandchildren.
My nephew (their daughter's son) graduated from high school in May and they didn't go to his graduation.
I really could go on and on and on about their BS lack of regard for other people...

So now it is coming out. This is a revenge move.


Also, my grandparents weren't at my graduation. I had no expectations that they should have been. And they live in the same city.

I'm still trying to figure out how a weeklong visit conflicts with one day of football. Just go watch the games somewhere else or plan an activity for them that doesn't involve you.

That sounds bad but you are only telling one side of the story. I am sure there is a history and they aren't the only ones to blame. I doubt you have been a peach towards them your whole life just based off of this thread.

Since they are coming to your home shouldn't you be the one to determine when they are welcomed? Yes. Don't cave, especially after that drunken borderline personality disordered attempt at splitting you and your husband.

See, you are thinking that they are normal. We've tried that in the past - they like to hang out here and do fun things like read. When they are reading they don't like to be disturbed. They prefer to read in the den, like they do at home; so the house can't be noisy. my kids can't have friends over when they are here because they are too noisy. If my kids leave, they pout.
They don't bother me when they are here because I keep myself busy with my horses. It's really my husband and kids that get the brunt of it. But the one and only day both me and my husband will veg out and watch TV - poof - there they are...

See, that's just the thing that's really chaping my hide here - I have always been nice to them (sometimes it's takes a couple of glasses of wine or a Lortab, but I manage) and accommodating and this one time I say no, it's getting ugly.

The last time they were here my husband had to be out of town for work for 4 days of their visit (um-hmm) I wore out his credit card for those 4 days,


Wow. You sound like a self centered spoiled bitch.

You come on here and brag that you wore out your husbands credit card. How mature is that?
Your husband probably wasn't out of town for work but just getting away from you.

Suck it up buttercup it's just one week.

I have never enjoyed being near a single woman during football. Even the coolest ones are annoying as hell during a game.
hmm, back in the 70's - football season in B R was some of my best slaying the poon while hubbie was whacking off at T S.

The vast majority in this thread is telling you that you are in the wrong.

Yet, as a self-centered dogmatist you refuse to believe there is a chance you are blowing it all out of proportion and are coming off as a bitch.

So, to appease you:
You are completely correct. How dare they try to ruin 12 hours of your seemingly perfect life. They should check themselves and cater to your schedule. You're so pretty.

I love how you completely ignored my suggestion for you to leave the house and watch the games elsewhere.

It appears to be a validation thread instead of one actually seeking advice.

I blame myself for not realizing sooner, like just after she said she was a woman.

No didn't ignore it - I don't like to watch football at bars, restaurants or especially parties. I actually like to watch the game and I don't like a bunch of chatter and distractions.
I just don't think I'm being a See you next Tuesday or a bitch to ask these people to come in 2 days later or pick another week.
After my Dad died, I inherited his cattle business and I am physically working my arse off to keep it going while I reduce the herd size. By the end of August I will have the herd down from almost 2000 to 500. Do you know how hard it is to fatten up and sell that many head of cattle?? And to do it as a woman where I get zero respect from most of my hands and buyers??
I had 9/5 circled as a day where I could just sit in a chair with my husband and some cocktails and relax without worrying if saying "shite" out loud would send my MIL into a fainting spell.

Yea. I believe the mother in law sucks. But I think the OP sucks just as much. An incident like this is not the sole cause of her children and husband not talking to her.
