what is going on? part 2

This week end should prove to be an interesting turn of events. I posted a few days ago ( what is going on?) Dh's daughter, her babydaddy, and twins would be visiting. I have never met the 6 year old twins. I have never met the father of the twins. I have not seen or spoken to dh's daughter in 8 years.

I was informed of the visit by dh. Apparently the 2 men plan to spend the day fishing, which left me wondering who was expected to play hostess to the sd and the twins.

Now I have been informed that there will be babydaddy, sd, the twins, added to that will be a 10year old daughter by sd's past relationship. Plus 19 year old daughter from another past relationship will be coming. Oh, and they will all be spending the night here. Yes, here in our home that has 1 bed at the present time. Dh is running out today to buy a mattress to put on a bed frame. We do have 2 sofas they could use in the living room.

Now add to all this the fact that my own sister's 15 year old boy will be spending the entire week end here on a visit that was planned several weeks ago. This child I know well. Unlike dh's family my sister and all her children have been a constant in our lives. Sister will be driving about 2 hours to bring my nephew.

I have not been a part of any of dh's and his family's plans. I have been informed. Since I nolonger volunteer for the job of entertainment director (I stopped almost 10 years ago) it will be interesting to see what dh has planned for food, entertainment, and sleep accommodations. I am sure the 2 men that made all these plans have thought out the details.

Sd and the boyfriend did come to visit for the first time in many years just a couple months ago. They only stayed for the day but dh did make sure they had a good time. I was out of state visiting with my family at the time so I have not had any contact with these people for 8 years ,some i have never met. Yes, this will be an interesting weekend. I am sure dh has it allunder control.

Keep us informed. Sounds like you got everything under control for your role in this.

Sally, if I was a drinker that would be on my list. Unfortunatly, dh tells me " this is a really nice guy. Hard not to like him. He overcame his drug addictions.but does still drink a lot." Hope he can survive without drinking while here.

Mamafox, considering i have watched dh being the only one to drive 3 hours to visit his girls and grandkids, and great grandchildren saying no is difficult. For many years he has been the only one making the effort. This is a man who handed his daughter $ 100. And told her it was a bribe.to visit him again. Finally there is some effort. What reason for being so long, not really sure.
I just am not playing the role of entertainment director. When the time comes the 2 men will figure out how to put all these people where ever to sleep. My nephew has his sleeping cot. So he is covered.

Damn honey. Yeah I would take what I could get at that point, just to not see my husband hurt so much either. Lady, you are a saint.

It will be very interesting to hear how this goes - nine people, two mattresses. I agree, you ARE a saint. But have an alternative option in case you need an out.

Let us know how it goes. I hope you have a nice time watching your DH try and figure it out. Sit back and enjoy the show!

Thank to all of you that responded to this post. Just knowing you all are out there in stepland helps me stay grounded. It's not always easy to put aside the urge to just react.
