[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At the end of the day, this comes down to what is important to you. I used to stress about having everything prepped, but then realized that I’d rather spend time with my in-laws than have everything look perfect, and that I could actually learn from my MIL when it came to making everything look perfect but doing 100x less work, as she had years of experience doing this same thing.

Today, my ILs come whenever they make it through the traffic, and they help prep everything so that I can get my relaxation in faster. They also bring lots of wine, etc, to make the prep fun. But that’s all because [b]we have a good relationship that we both worked to build. Not everyone can do that.[/b][/quote]

Great post.  Unfortunately OP is in the "not everyone can do that" category.  Too much navel gazing and too little respect for others, especially her elders.[/quote]

DP.

For some, it's more important to have a perfectly set up house and so much food that some will end up being thrown away.[/quote]

For some, it's important to have part of a day off instead of getting home from work and needing to be prepared for guests at 10 am with no down time. Many of us are called introverts. Others of us are just tired. [/quote]
