[quote=Anonymous]OP,

If only freshly squeezed OJ and pastries would satisfy my in-laws.  That just sounds like a major inconvenience, but the rest of it, particularly from your husband sounds crazy.

First of all, they are his parents so why should you be responsible for the cooking and making sure the house is up to snuff?  Also, your parents have generously offered their car and access to the fireworks.  Why is he getting so worked up?  Your parents do not owe the a formal invitation.

It sounds like no matter what you or he does it will never be good enough for his parents and sister.  They totally need to get over themselves.  He's acting like the Queen of England and her entourage are visiting.

I feel for you, OP, I really do.  I can't stand my ILs. They are not as demanding as your ILs, but my MIL is a major PITA.  Fortunately, my husband realizes it and doesn't go out of his way for his folks.

There's really no pain in bending yourself into a pretzel to please these people b/c I doubt it would work anyway.

Hang in there.

PS:  maybe they won't like their visit so they won't be in any rush to come back any time soon?  one can hope, right?[/quote]
