re: In-Law Advice Needed

Ok, OP Im with you here. My in-laws are great, but sometimes you just don't want company. It's your house, your life. If your kids hate them too, then your husband and his crappy parents have a problem not you. Also, this was circled as your first weekend to chill. Your husband should respect that. It sounds like his parents are dicks, so frick them. They can pick another time to come over. If this is their last visit and they die; then, good riddance. Life is too short to worry about assholes.

You sound like the type of woman who takes a lot of beach trips with your married friends without your husbands.

I actually like to watch the game and I don't like a bunch of chatter and distractions.
Digressing, it's one day. You can still watch football, even with them there, with just a shred of effort. Remember that you'll one day be that same bitchy in-law that your children's future spouse can't stand to be around and will be edging you out of your children and grandchildren's lives. Then you'll have plenty of uninterrupted time for football. What goes around...

Sounds like your MIL with her reading.
But, it's her house and she's not inviting herself to impose on others. Most of you seem to be forgetting, that, according to the op, the in-laws just up and decided when they would visit her. Who does that? My in-laws would never do that, and my wife and I would never just tell family when we will be in town to spend hours upon hours at their home.
Again, op, you tell them when they are welcome at your home. That's it. No need to humor their manipulative behavior. If you'd have set boundaries 20 years ago you wouldn't have this issue now.

Your in-laws have mastered the art of passive aggression. Right now they are probably picking out a small bread dog to buy to bring to your house. It will shite & piss everywhere. They will blame your children or dogs. It's never going to get better. You may win a battle. They ultimately will win the war. So enjoy life, a lil self medicating is Ok, & vote republican.

Jackasses like you are the worst. Some women like football as much or more than men. Yes, occasionally we comment on the uniforms, but we also bitch about that shitty out route this guy ran, or ask why in the f'ing universe we'd pass the ball on 4th down when IT DID NOT WORK FOR DOWNS 1, 2, & 3.
OP, this is your husband's problem to deal with. His parents, his issue. Tell him to take care of it, and you'll do your best to welcome them Sunday instead.
We have an open door policy for my MIL but she's a decent person to be around and helps with my little ones, so I'm ok if she visits. Yours sounds like a nightmare tho, prayers sent.

So anybody out there think I should cave and let them visit??
frick no. I mean, the lady said she was gonna die, so take her at her word and maybe that'll be the end of your problem.
And if she lives, just tell her, "Look at you, you're the picture of health. You're gonna live forever, so call us in a couple years and we'll schedule that visit of yours. Get back to us in 5-10 years."
There ya go. You've got a minimum 5 year postponement for seeing this freak, and maybe she'll die in the interim.
Good luck!

The first Saturday of college football is a high-holy day for me
Dumb arse. So they'll have a few meaningless games that won't change your life, BFD.
It's one weekend out of the entire year. Show some compassion you a-hole.

Yep. So, why do they have to invite themselves over to HER house that weekend?

Cause they aren't stupid enough and know better than to wrap their lives around a bunch of teenagers playing football. Especially when she isn't speaking of her own team.
I'm not saying she shouldn't ask them to come earlier if possible.

I also suggested that my husband take the kids and go visit them (my kids aren't speaking to me now)
A mother that will throw her children under the bus to fulfill her football needs. Your husband should leave you because I am 100% sure you aren't faithful to him.
Perhaps your MIL just wants to yell Row Thad with you with her last breath.
You are one classless bitch.

Huh? I don't mind my woman watching a game with me, but who really wants their woman to be a fanatic?

She did ask them to come over at some point sooner during the next 7 weeks.
All hobbies, interests or distractions can be belittled but I don't see where she's wrapping her life around college football. It's a fun event, like opening day of baseball and something small that people can enjoy.

Why don't you tell the inlaws why you don't like them. Maybe they have no idea.
Then, if they refuse to change it'll be their fault and you can ignore them with no reservations.

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, btw.
Wouldn't his credit card debt be yours too?

I don't think she is doing this bc of football. She's doing it bc last year they came after school started and with 3 teenagers that was difficult; I asked them last year to plan on coming this year before school started.
Your kids' school doesn't start until after September 11? Or are you saying they're deliberately coming that week to defy you because you asked them to come AFTER school starts? If the latter, then tell them again, "sorry, kids will be in school then and you need to come earlier".
