I think I'm going to lose it

MIL is not my favorite. She now lives in Colorado, so we haven't seen her in a year. She's in town now (at SILs) and is coming to stay with us Thursday-Sunday. We're then going to brunch Sunday at SILs.

DH just told me he has to work Friday night, Sat day and Sun day.

He technically could refuse, but the OT is well needed. He will sooo owe me.

Wine. All of the wine.

Nope

[notoriousmeg]

Absolutely not.

You really don't look well, aren't you coming down with the flu?

Use some of that OT money for wine. And maybe tickets to a show/movie/event that you could attend that doesn't require talking. I'd be looking for any activities in the community to keep us busy. I'd rather be doing something than sit at my house, trying to force a conversation with someone I don't really care for.

Nope, nope, nope.

I was just thinking about a similar scenario today.  DH saw MIL over the weekend when he went to a family event, and she mentioned wanting to visit.  He said he didn't know when, because he's really busy at work.  Short of it being some kind of necessity, DH needs to be around for the majority of a MIL visit.  I have no interest or desire to be alone with MIL for long periods of time.

Your DH definitely owes you.

And DH and I are fighting because I hate how his work pulls this kind of stuff, yet has no work for him on a perfectly good Tuesday, such as today. I've asked him for months to try to find another shop to work for but he refuses. So round and round we go. And now I'm the bad guy because he has anxiety and it's scary to leave a shop he's been at for 9 years. Oh, the one that has no respect for your family? Ok then.

And he'll miss DS's first Tball game
