re: In-Law Advice Needed

I don't know why everyone is giving you such a hard time. People shouldnt just call you and tell you when they're coming to your house. They should ask. If they're retired and they can't pick another weekend, then they obviously don't want to come that bad.

Frick yes I am pretty and now and I am pretty and pissed off. I started this thread because I erroneously thought that the majority of you "men" on here would appreciate someone who works their arse off wanting to be left alone in relative peace and quiet to watch some fricking football and not have to kiss anybody's arse while doing it.
And no I don't sound like my MIL and her reading because I do my shite at my house, I don't pile up in someone else's house and expect them to tiptoe around my arse.
Frick yall - if I were a man Yall would be planning a protest at my house to block my in-laws at the door like damn George Wallace.

If your husband and his family aren't treating you right you can find someone here to take care of you.

Is this your opinion or the loratab and wine's opinion?

You're pretty? How pretty?
And if you were a man, we would tell you to stop bitching like a woman and put up with your in-laws like the rest of us.

Brush up on your reading comp skills - my kids got mad because I suggested they all go to the grandparents for a visit. They don't want them here anymore than I do...

- Knowing the trip was coming, you failed to give your MIL clear dates that would work for your schedule.
- Your kids aren't talking to you because of a "suggestion" you made.
- You require prescription drugs and alcohol to be polite with someone.
You may work hard and your MIL may be the worst human on this planet, but please stop acting like your decision making and actions through this have been perfect. You're asking for advice but don't like what you're getting.
Just go spend some more money on the credit card and everything will be better...

Have 'em over, cook and watch the game. They don't have to watch or eat if they don't want to.

You said "No" as long as your husband is ok with it, that's the end of the conversation.
You gave them an alternative, you don't have to justify yourself to the OT or the MIL. As long as your husband and you agree, No is all you need to say.

This. If quiet time is so important to them, they'll move into their bedroom for the duration.
After 20+ years of in law hood, let them see the real you (football watching drunken sailor.) They don't like it, tough. The worst thing would be they stop visiting.

You're proving out the Gump stereotype here BTW.
And all that about the credit card being worn out during your husband's trip is the level of assholery your in laws pull. I'm a woman too, and that's a bitch move IMO. It's your financial well-being too, and makes you as much a threat to your husband's peace of mind as his mother may be.

I wouldn't allow my inlaws to spend and entire week in my house at any point in the year so I'm on your side. Now show your tits and get back to the kitchen

Dear Lord, please let me never marry someone like the OP. Amen.
Posted on 7/20/15 at 5:39 am to HaveMercy
You're in the right--and if you hadn't mentioned early on that you were a girl, this thread would have gone a whole lot differently(the Bama logo likely also contributed) Shake the misogynist haters.
Posted on 7/20/15 at 5:58 am to HaveMercy
I think you got it handled. Well done.
Posted on 7/20/15 at 5:59 am to HaveMercy
I'm with you on this one Have Mercy. My suggestion is tell your husband to grow a pair and handle this. It shouldn't be you as they are his parents. If he won't then you have 6 weeks to setup a man cave in the barn. Good luck and buck fama

Uh, we're talking a Bama fan here...
In all seriousness it sounds like the OP just has bigger issues with the in laws staying that long and it goes deeper than the week they're coming. An almost universal complaint. Part of being married yo. Deal with it.
Posted on 7/20/15 at 6:35 am to HaveMercy
My in laws play the same sickness card, except they worry my wife with everything that is going on. Upsets her. Your husband should be controlling them more than he does. Tell him to grow a pair and tell his mom to adapt.
Edit: however if hubby agrees with his mommy then you're up the creek and labelled the bad guy. Sorry.
