Men are so clueless!
My in-laws live 5 minutes away. We have them over for dinner every few weeks. Or should I say DH invites them to dinner...
I've asked him a million times to check with me first before inviting them. It's not a cooking thing- he does most of the cooking. But it's a time and space thing... When they come, he wants to make a mad dash to clean the house, and then they stay forever. We have dinner, then they want to linger over coffee during desert.
So he did it again! I'm still getting over being sick, he hasn't talked to the skids or to me about their issues while he was gone on his business trip. I have to get ready for work tomorrow... Sunday nights are crazy around here as everyone rushes to finish homework and get laundry done for the week. I really don't need this right now.
It's just another example of how my thoughts, feelings, time and opinions are not important. So I have 30 minutes to suck it up, and put a smile on.
Next time, I swear I'm gonna find an excuse to leave the house when he does this to me!

Do it. Next time he makes
Do it. Next time he makes the plans without consulting you simply say "I'm sorry, I've asked you to discuss with me before inviting. I will not be here for dinner" OR go about your business at home. Just tell ILs that you are sorry you cannot entertain them, but dh did not give you notice of their visit and you had plans and need to get things done around the house. Thank God dh and I live 100 miles from either of our families. Noone just "drops in" and dh would never invite anyone without running it past me. Besides even when Inlaws say they're coming, they never show up. I don't even plan a meal when they say they are coming because there is a more than 75% chance they won't show.
"God is great, beer is good, and people are crazy" and you can't change crazy!!
