my parents called from CT to tell me they are on their way

[meganew]

Wha?? Why? Why do people do this? What if you all have plans?

When they got there I'd be all "Thanks so much for coming! H and I could really use a date day! See you tonight!" then book it out.

[CurlyQ284]

What?! That's crazy! You can't drop in from like 7? Hours away!

[hisno1girl]

"Oh, really? We're on the way OOT for. day trip! Sorry we'll miss you!"


I despise drop ins.

[compassrose]

Uh. I hope you like your parents? IMO, surprise visits sound sweet but are generally inconvenient. I hope you have a good time anyway.

What?! OMG I would be furious if my parents pulled this with me. While a surprise visit always sounds nice in concept, it never goes over well. I'm sorry they're doing this.

I would definitely keep all my plans and they can tag along if they want, or just do something on their own. And I would probably take advantage of the free baby-sitting and have a date night.
