[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My parents called last Saturday to tell me they want to come visit us soon and suggested the last weekend in September. I told them that isn’t a good weekend for us since both kids have good friends’ birthday parties on that Saturday, the older one has something at school Sunday AM and that Sunday evening is the start of an important Jewish holiday and we have plans from then through Monday afternoon. My parents are not Jewish (I converted) but DH’s family is and we have plans with them to celebrate the holiday. [/quote] To your original question- why don’t they listen? You gave them way too much information. They heard what you said and decided your plans were not as important as their desired visit time. Ultimately you have to decide how hard of a line you are going to take this time. In the future just tell them no and stop explaining yourself. [/quote]
