[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You're a grown up, it's time to learn to say no.
I would never host family that invite themselves like that, they're very rude.[/quote]

My in laws like to “pull a fast one” every time they plan a trip or we go out with them.
Yeah come for a few days—> they go book 7-20 days here and tell us after they book
Yeah let’s go out to dinner tomorrow —> Oh I thought you guys would pay for everything

Stop saying "yeah come for a few days."

Start saying, "August 12-17 is perfect for us, but I'm afraid we can't do dates outside of those days. If you want to stay in the area longer, we'll help you get settled in the Hampton Inn about 10 minutes away."

Stop saying, "yeah, let's go out to dinner tomorrow." Start saying, "Before we decide on dinner, I wanted to let you know that it will only be in our budget for us to pay for our family this time. Would you rather us order in take-out tonight, or have leftover chicken and sides from last night."

Life is not hard when you communicate, directly. [/quote]
