[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You prioritized laundry and groceries over his family. It is simple. [/quote]

Are you drunk? She’s pregnant with no clean clothes and the ones she was wearing had been around drugs and poverty and filth all day. She’s a social worker. It’s not unreasonable for her to expect her husband to take 90 seconds to move some clothes from washer to dryer so she can have Christmas dinner in clean clothes.

OP, I’d make a joke of how inept he is next time you see his family, just tell them the story honestly and how you were furious at him that you had to miss dinner with them.[/quote]

Thank you, PP. Yes, a shower and clean clothes are an absolute necessity. I would not want to potentially expose DH’s family to the things I’m exposed to: germs, filth, bodily fluids. When you step foot in a home with a urine saturated floor and there’s vomit or poop  everywhere, you need to change your clothes and shower. I strip down in the garage most days.

Also - groceries were needed. I didn’t know in that moment what the store hours were on a Christmas Day, or if they were open at all. Also I was starving and there wasn’t much to eat at home. I knew any food at DH’s family’s house would have been left out and picked over so I needed to get something to eat for myself quickly. They weren’t serving a meal - just appetizers and they started celebrating at 3. They’re not food cautious and will leave seafood dips out for 4+ hours. [/quote]
