[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP's husband probably knew that OP was exhausted and that's why he said they are just going to park their car and go, but then that didn't happen.

OP, I have been married 20 years. My MIL would ignore all boundaries. I complained to DH; he'd say he'd do something about it and never did. FIL passed away and now MIL is over here spending the night all the time even though she doesn't live far away. I'm hiding in my room now.

I urge you to discuss boundaries with your husband now. I sense this isn't about them coming over for an hour, but a routinely ignoring your wants and needs in favor of their own. If you bottle this up for a couple of decades like I did, eventually you are going to totally lose it, like I am right now. Yes - it's fine to stay in your room. Text your husband, tell him to bring you some food and water and tell him to tell your in-laws you are exhausted and taking some time for yourself.[/quote]

Oh, Pp. it’s never too late. Just do it calmly and when you are not irritated/about to loose it. And be specific, e.g. i would prefer for you mom to stay overnight 2 times per year max. [/quote]
