[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH's oldest brother and sister in law are always late. Like really late. They never call to say they are running late nor do they ever apologize. DH and his parents just roll with it but I find it incredibly rude. We have a newborn and they were supposed to come visit us at 4pm. It is now 5:50pm and no sign of them nor any call to tell us their ETA. Fine I don't have any where to be or anything planned but I could have napped or done a number of other things I the time I've wasted waiting for them. Not to mention now, they will be here at dinner time. I'm at a loss as to what I can do or say in this situation but I am floored that anyone thinks this is ok. Thoughts?[/quote]

OP, I have not read all the posts.  Here is what I do.  My brother is late to everything.  He told us outright that his time is much more valuable than ours and he will show up when he feels like it (yes, he has issues).  Anyway, we NEVER wait for him.  He can be from 1-4 hours late.  We eat when we planned.  If he is coming over (and it's rare because I don't have much to do with him due to his attitude) and we need to be somewhere else, we just go out our day.  Sometimes he shows up to an empty house (he knew we needed to be somewhere, but doesn't care and expects us to wait for him).  We have packed him meals up and sent him home in the past as well.  My BIL also does this.  We treat it the same way (although his issue is around leaving work in enough time to be someplace for dinner).  Life is to short.  People are assholes.  They get what they deserve.[/quote]
