[quote=Anonymous]We are polar opposites. I plan. They don't. I organize. They don't. To each their own. They came to visit and it is killing me. They arrived last night at 11:30. I asked what they believed the best plan was. They said "we will call you when we get up. Somewhere between 9:30 and 11." I have learned over time to just roll with it. I ate breakfast, took a walk with DD, did laundry, DH mowed the lawn. They arrived at 10:45. They had not eaten breakfast. Ok. So then we make pancakes. Fine. "So what is the plan today?" We lay out optIons. Zoo, aquarium, park, DC, White House. Mother in law does not want to do DC "too many road closures and parades." Ok. Aquarium. Then little niece (5) wants park and not aquarium. Fine. Go to the park at 11:30, play, home for lunch, and then my DD can still get a nap in normal time. "Do you have a booster we can borrow?" Huh? Our kid is 2. I offer our second car seat (Britax Boulevard). I am not sure if younger kid is too big, but better than nothing? Now we have to go to Walmart to get a booster. Why didn't they bring one?!?

Mother in law micro manages everything. Should we call at 9:30? No. They said they would call us. Maybe we should just make breakfast in case. Do you want to make breakfast, mom? "Well, if it will just sit there, no." OMG

Pulling out of Walmart, MIL says "I think he was signaling to you." He was not. I don't think they are pulling out. Something is wrong. It was not. They must be lost in the parking lot. They are not.

And DH does not talk well with brother (DH is younger), never articulates needs, and fights all the time with mom over micromanaging.

They have been here less than 24 hours and are staying until
Tuesday. I will not make it. Can't tell anyone else this, so thanks DCUM![/quote]
