[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We had to change our garage code after my ILs let themselves in with it A FULL DAY BEFORE their planned visit. They were supposed to arrive Friday and stay through Monday; instead they just decided to show up on Thursday while DH and I were at work.

They still pout that we changed the code and won't give them the new one. We hand them the key when they arrive and take it back when they depart, from now on.[/quote]

Truly YMMV.

I'm the polar opposite of you. We gave our keys/codes to the inlaws and would love for them to 'just drop in' more. Good thing you and your spouse are on the same page, I guess. Just curious- what are you worried they will do/what have they done to you?[/quote]

Well I wasn't "worried" about anything, other than our lives are busy and scheduled and we both like to know what's going on in, you know, our own home. Our house was presentable, as always, but we hadn't finished making up the guest room, etc. We also were going to do one more grocery run the night before, and FIL complained that we didn't have the distilled water needed to fill his CPAP, and we didn't have limes for his preferred gin and tonic. We would have been fully ready if they had come on the day they were supposed to come.

Do you routinely make plans with people and then change those plans without discussing it with them first? It's extraordinarily rude to do that. As the saying goes, "Do What You Say You Will Do." [/quote]
