[quote=Anonymous]I know, I know it's 9 months away.   But on a phone call this weekend my SIL told my husband that she, her husband and son want to come visit for a WEEK next summer.  They live in Michigan.  I really can't even imagine them a week in our house.  Sounds dramatic, but I can't even handle the thought.  Both are self centered, distracted non-parenting (son will be 5 then and is a brat now), jerks.   We have been in our house over 3 years and have been saved a visit from them so far.   I think MIL is telling them they should visit so they are granting us with our presence.    I wrote an email afterwards telling them that while they were planning to please include me in on the emails in the planning (she never does). I do all the scheduling for our daughter with camps, as well as childcare around that (I work part-time).  I plan and book our vacation (beach house).   DH isn't a planner and wants no part in planning vacations, etc.   I would be the one entertaining them.  August is busy for us with 2 weeks away already so I suggested that perhaps July would be better. Okay and I must admit in the email I said a "July weekend" would be better.   I really. can. not. do. a week with them at our house.  Our DD is special needs and to have them in our house for a week is incredibly disruptive.   No answer on the email.  Think I caused WW3 with the in-laws.   Can I make this okay?  Can I just say a week is too long?  And no my husband is no help.  Will not get involved, but as I said I will be the one entertaining, cooking, cleaning while they are here.  He will be at work.[/quote]
