[quote=Anonymous]You need to not be afraid to set boundaies. Tell your parents that it's all going to too much for you, and you need them to stay elsewhere for this event. Give them the phone number of the closest hotel. Let them use uber and taxis if that's what they want to do -- it sounds like you caved and offered to drive them. Don't. They'll manage. Don't wait for them when they are late. Just keep to your plans and schedule. If they miss out and pout, maybe next time they'll plan better. If your father is going on and on too late for your DH, he should excuse himself and leave. Unless your cooking for this is heating up party-sized trays of food from Costco, use a caterer, preferably one that delivers. I've learned the hard way that sometimes it's just not worth knocking yourself out to do everything. [/quote]
