[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Rules are you have to say one positive thing for every negative vent about IL/family visits and hosting for Independence Day Weekend 2019!

Negative: IL kitchen habits back at it again! Just went to the kitchen for a glass of water, only to see the huge platter of semi-frozen hamburger patties that is apparently going to be left out overnight.

Positive: For once, we didn't have to ask for them to silence their four loud cuckoo clocks so the kids could sleep. They did that on their own steam, and also turned the air conditioning on for the night!

It's been a nice visit overall so far. Hope everyone has a great time, and come scream into the pillow that is this thread when you need to. Looking forward to reading all the hastily typed missives from the bathroom![/quote]

Turned on ac just for the night? What? Please tell me you're in Alaska, Canada or upstate NY.[/quote]

No, no...rural New Jersey. It has been a pleasant but HOT visit.

Yesterday, my husband and 3yo took a nap in the back bedroom before the BBQ started. The house was "opened to air" during the day  "because people would be coming in and out of the house." And seemingly that meant they'd be unable to close a door, apparently. Anyway, the nappers woke up drenched in sweat and had to change clothes. Then my MIL was upset that the 3yo's hair was sweat-drenched and her braided pigtails were "ruined." Whatever.

But yes, other than the heat/lack of AC, it's been OK. [/quote]
