[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To those wishing to make the change, here is the series of lies we told to smooth it over:

1) We happened to have a bunch of hotel points expiring” and used them to book a hotel with a pool because that way the kids will be better behaved when we visit (and sit around your boring-ass house for hours).

2) Then we were shocked, SHOCKED to discover that the pool made it so much easier for us, the parents because WE have trouble managing our rambunctious children (who otherwise engage in normal child behaviors like running around).  And the children really should practice their swimming of course, for their own safety, don’t you think?

3) You know we checked that same hotel with the nice pool and it is running a special that week!  We’ll stay there so the children can swim before we come over (at noon when you have finally woken up and had your coffee and people are allowed to speak above a whisper).

After that we just kept doing it and they were used to it.[/quote]

BIL and his husband told a series of similar lies to get out of staying at MIL's house. She demands that they stay in separate rooms.

So all of a sudden, there were expiring hotel points, specials, and whatnot.

Worked out great for everyone. [/quote]

Wow, even though they're married?  That's crazy!  This reminds me of that one DCUM post about the woman who pretended to have won a Harry and David basket so she had an excuse to bring a bunch of food over to her "kitchen is closed"-type ILs over the holidays.  Genius![/quote]
