Bull. shite.
They’re not planning a trip to Paris in the shoulder season. It’s a goddamned domestic flight which probably fluctuates between $175 and $350, any day, any week, or any month outside of thanksgiving and Christmas.
Maybe this was just a troll thread to identify Louisiana losers who can never leave to get a better job because their cousin lives in Laffy and just had a baby, etc.

Why could he consider the feelings of his parents, who clearly want to see him, and not pour every single fiber of his being into work for two days and spend time with them?
2) sounds like the parents need to grow up and learn about patience

His parents are coming for a weekend, two days.
Are you not able to cope with this for two days?
He asked them to come in late fall and they completely disregarded because it fit what they wanted to to better. Of course you can cope for 2 days but wouldn't it be more fun to plan a trip and mutually enjoy the time together?

I always tell my kids when they act like they don't want to visit grandparents.
Would you feel worse if you went to grandparents' for a weekend and missed some xbox time or whatever, or if you stayed home and one of them died?
Time is limited. Don't be a dick. Tell them you are very busy and they'll need to occupy themselves but you'll see them for dinner and do the best you can do.

Flying to New England next month for a two day hike in the white mountains with my middle son. My wife will spend some quality time with our daughter in law who we both adore. Equal excitement on both ends for this adventure. Sorry your relationship with your parents is in such a bad state that you would rather spend the weekend alone in your apartment than entertaining and showing them your new home. Makes me sad for you. And them.

What if something happened and you lost one of them ? How'd ya feel then a-hole?

You’re bitching because parents who actually give a damn want to see you. You don’t have anything particularly planned.
Some of us would have given a lot to gave parents who cared enough to make a trip. So don’t expect a lot of sympathy for your whining. Suck it up and be nice to them.
Soon enough you’ll wish you’d listened. Unless you’re a worthless a-hole, frick off if that’s the case.

The visit is just for the weekend? Make the best of it and be a good host.
Ifit’s just about work then you can tell them that you have to work Saturday until noon. They shouldn’t mind that. Spend the rest of the weekend with them.
But when I read that you’d rather get drunk or watch football, that tells me this has little to do with work, and that you just don’t like your folks visiting.

One breath you're saying you would want to work some overtime, but the next you're saying you want to hang out and relax. Which is it?
If you're wanting to avoid your parents so you can relax and get drunk, yeh you're being the dick. You can relax next weekend.....or the next.....
If you're swamped and need to work, then let them know that you'll be available around the time you need to work during the weekend.
I would also ask them which hotel they are going to be staying at.

It’s a bs move on their part, especially if you asked them to wait until a later date, BUT they’re your parents, and I’m sure they’ve made just a few sacrifices for you over the years.
So, unless this is a common occurrence, which it doesn’t sound like it is, then you better suck it the frick up, and be the best damn tour guide you can be…with a smile on your face.

Man, I don’t come here for advice often. But I genuinely appreciate the responses like this. I can be immature and selfish even at 33 because I’ve always had help from my parents.
I will put my personal wishes aside and show my parents a good time and have a good attitude about it. It’s just for a short time and it would probably mean the world to them.
Honestly , i was tearing up reading some of this responses. Big thank you to those of your who took the time to share your experience/ perspective with me. You didn’t have to do that. But thank you.

Oh piss off.
Let me ask you this: if you wanted to visit your parents this weekend, and they said they were busy and to please reschedule, would you just show up anyways or abide by their request?
We are all busy and have things to do. Sometimes that means not everyone can get what they want when they want it.

I saw a clip of a show not to long ago where that happened to a guy and just shot them and the wife. He said something like he was tired of the disrespect.
I don’t advise this approach…

No matter how much money you make and the possessions you accumulate. You aren’t taking a uhaul with all your shite to the grave yard. There are more important things in life.

You my lad are a selfish SOB.
This is coming from someone who stopped by the graveyard this morning, in the rain, to visit my parents.
I wish like hell they could come stop by and as you put it, bother / inconvenience me this weekend.
