[quote=Anonymous]1) It is completely ridiculous that they are coming.  Ignore the guilt-tripper PP with her “family matters” bs.  Even if they felt they needed to book something immediately and without reaching out again, the reasonable thing to do would have been to book for ANY OTHER WEEKEND.  Instead they booked for the only weekend that they knew for a fact would be inconvenient for OP and that was already dedicated to the in-laws.

2) Send them an immediate itinerary of the weekend.  Saturday they can hang out with whichever kid doesn’t have a party or tag along to a party or do breakfast beforehand.  Sunday squeeze a meal in if you can, but once the religious obligations start, you are not available.  Get them a hotel if possible since you don’t have time to host that weekend outside of the 2 time slots (One Saturday and one Sunday) that you listed.  If that doesn’t work, weekend A B or C would all work better.

3) If they insist on coming anyway, stick to the itinerary.  DO NOT let them tag along to the religious stuff and infringe upon your in-laws tine with the kids.[/quote]
