[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here- today was first day of visit. I opted to sit this one out. Talked to mil on phone to let her know id see her sometime tomorrow. She proceeded to talk for 5min about someone I've never met. And so the fun filled visit starts![/quote]
C'mon, I am sure she's annoying, but she's not here to entertain you or help you around the house. She came to see her son. As long as she's not being a bitch to you, I'd say cut her some slack. [/quote]

Agreed that she and fil are not here to entertain me or  help out around house but they shouldn't create so much work.

I also don't think it's too much to ask to have some basic courtesy: clean up after yourself, don't ask your son and me to leave work to have lunch with you all, don't ask us to be Late to work to have breakfast with you all, maybe even offer to order takeout or pay for a meal once in a while?[/quote]
It sounds like normal guest behavior to me, and really it's not a grave offense to ask you guys have lunch with them. They are here for a short time and they want to maximize their time with you. I am pretty much always team DIL, but your complaints seem petty. Of course, I might be missing a lot of context, who knows, maybe you are pregnant and hormonal, or ILs did something really bad before.[/quote]
