[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry, I told you that weekend doesn't work for us.  I wish you'd listened when I told you I'd get back to you with an alternate date.  [b]You're welcome to come I guess, but we're going to be running around a lot.  [/b]

And then don't cancel anything. [/quote]

More like, I hope you purchased refundable tickets, as we won't be able to host you that weekend. [/quote]

I get how parents like this can be so I would say something to the effect of:

“Tge kids have 2 birthday parties, a school event and a religious event on the schedule that weekend. The parties are drop off but if you come to visit that weekend, you will just tagging along to other events. There’s not enough time to plan anything else that weekend as we already have plans. Please change your flights to XX or YY weekend.”

If they come in the weekend you said you were unavailable, you have to stick to ALL the regular plans. Do not make your kids miss their friends birthday parties. You either set boundaries or you’re going to get be treated like a doormat forever.  [/quote]
