[quote=Anonymous]I’m not sure why your husband wasn’t in this conversation. If I had said to my husband “lets ask your parents to come at 5,” he would have known about the driving in the dark issue (since it’s super common with older people) and said to me that that wouldn’t work. So we would have gone into the conversation with the in laws on much firmer ground, being able to say that we were so excited to have them but not ready for them until 4. The problem is that the minute they had to push back on 5, which was a reasonable push back, it made your guests feel uncomfortable. That is something you want to avoid as a host, much less as family hosting. It doesn’t matter how annoying they have been in the past - in this situation, you appeared ungracious. I think the boundaries need to set with your husband going forward since presumably he knows them best.[/quote]
