[quote=Anonymous]Wow, empathy to all the pps. Those are some rough stories.

We were at MIL and FIL's. 9 people and 4 dogs spending 4 days in a house with only 3 beds was...cozy. (She invited everyone individually, we all agreed to come thinking we were the only guests, and then "got to be surprised" as soon as we bought plane tickets that the house would be full.) Great grandma had to sleep on a couch because there weren't enough beds.

MIL tried to set up DS's pack and play in her closet. I vetoed that quickly, and set it up where we were sleeping while she pouted about never getting time with her grandchild.

Breakfast was fend for yourself bagels/toast each day, which is fine but not filling. Lunch was never served (and MIL got mad when I suggested we go get food), because it would "spoil dinner". So we ate bagels and dinner each day. By the third day I claimed having to go to the pharmacy and took DS for lunch.

MIL stayed in her pajamas. All day. Every day. Got frustrated with us for getting dressed before noon.

On the morning we opened gifts, we were to have brunch. DS (and therefor DH and I) woke up at 7. BIL slept in until 10. MIL decreed we would eat after gifts. She had purchased dozens of gifts for everyone, which was sweet...but it literally took 3 hours. DS had a melt down (hunger!) and she refused to let him snack. I started to pack him up to take him out for food, and she fussed at me for being melodramatic. She cooked breakfast for him then, and made the rest of us wait until 1:00 to eat.

My favorite part of being home is being able to eat when I'm hungry!

Really though, despite all that it was better than I expected and there were lots of nice parts.[/quote]
