[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's not wrong to tell her.  Give your DH one last warning with a crystal-clear deadline: tell them by the end of the weekend that they cannot move here, or I will tell them myself.

What does your DH mean when he says he'll "take care of it"?  Maybe he doesn't fully understand your position? [/quote]

If my wifer ever said something like this to me, we would have problems.  It is absolutely fine to not want his parents to move here (although I do not see how you could stop them), but folks need to be careful about giving ultimatums and deadlines.   You may get your way - but at a price. [/quote]

You would deserve it, if you kept telling your wife you would take care of it and then chickening out.  It's disrespectful.[/quote]

It isn't if my wife is telling me to disrespect my parents. [/quote]

Yes it is!  My god.  You would be lying to your wife!  If you don't want to tell your parents they can't stay, then say so to your wife!  Don't just lie and say you'll do it and then flake out.  It's childish and passive-aggressive. [/quote]
