[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hmm. I think it’s rude to have guests stay at your house, and then leave for other social events like this.[/quote]

If ILs visited once a year, you’d have a leg to stand on. But they vacation with them and see them for holidays and other visits throughout the year? Yeah, no. ILs don’t get multi-day visits several days a year and then complain if OP goes out to dinner with her own family.

Plus, it’s her FAMILY that are visiting from far-flung locations. If this were her going out for girls’ nights with local friends, again, you’d have a leg to stand on. But if you get one chance a year or every other year to see your cousin from Wisconsin, you take it. Period.[/quote]

No, she would not have a leg to stand on. It's her family. Off the holiday. And having visitors is not a blood oath to spend every minute with them.

It is FINE to visit with the visiting family. YOu owe her no other explanation or justification other than "yep, see you in a couple of hours." PERIOD.[/quote]
