[quote=Anonymous]4pm is not dark, so the ILs won’t be driving in the dark and wouldn’t be arriving in the dark. GMAB with all the boo hoo. OP tried a compromise and MIL didn’t want t to hear it and tried the old switcheroo to try to guilt OP “we wouldn’t want to interfere with your ‘mental health’ “.   I would have replied: “great that we are on the same page.  Bye”. And hung up.

My own mother is exactly like this. She absolutely positively has to be in control of time, I have no idea what her objective is but she’s infamous for never arriving when she say she will or never calling when she leaves her home (like she promises she will) so we can have things ready for her or even make sure we are home. It’s a weird game of gotcha.

OP should be ready for her ILs to just show up early. They may have the excuse “it took us much shorter than we expected so we’re here”. Or “we though there would be more traffic, so we got her much faster, you don’t mind do you?”

Have a game plan. Make sure your husband is home. [/quote]
