[quote=Anonymous]This would annoy me too. Especially on a day like today, and after you've already spent a bunch of time with them recently. A couple suggestions/alternatives that might make future visits more palatable: 1. Would your spouse agree to say no to every other request? Or every 3rd? Part of the problem is that they may think they have an open invitation and that's not comfortable for you. 2. Can you fully absent yourself while they are there EXCEPT for the eating part of dinner? Hide out in your room with a book or a show and say you've got a headache (or whatever) and are exhausted. 3. On other days when they visit (not today when you just want to be home w/your family), can you take this time as an opportunity to work late, grab an unexpected workout, meet a friend for a drink, go sit in a coffee shop by yourself, or have something else come up unexpectedly that keeps you away? 4. Can you send your husband out to dinner w/them and order takeout for you/kids? [/quote]
