[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tea and cheese poster here. I am glad I entertained you all but sorry I inadvertently derailed the thread somewhat.
All I wanted to say that it’s not too much to welcome the guests (even if they are early! Which is, I agree, a major inconvenience, but they are old!) and offer them tea or coffee or whatever. Then it is perfectly fine to retreat! 
Offering lunch would be nice, but not expected from a typical “modern woman”. 
Did the ILs commit a faux pas? Yes. Did they do it on purpose? I doubt it! They are old and anxious. OP might be there one day as well.

My parents are in their late 70s and know to call if they are going to change plans. There is no excuse to be rude to your hosts when they are graciously opening their home to you for a visit and are cooking you a holiday meal.[/quote]

All I am saying is that even though they weren’t perfectly polite and considerate, they do deserve basic politeness. 
I don’t think anyone expected OP to do more than the basic greeting ritual? [/quote]

Stop digging the hole, Tea & Cheese! Put down your shovel and make yourself some tea![/quote]
