[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We told everyone we were having a quiet Thanksgiving with just us at home this year. There have been some extended family issues and we want some time alone with the kids stress free. MIL called and said she needs to come now since she made a doctors appointment in our town that Friday. She lives 10 hours away and has never had a doctors appointment here before. DH and I are arguing over this.  He thinks I am selfish. I think MIL is manipulating and has no boundaries. [/quote]

Call me an ass but I'd call to confirm that appt see if it's true (a lot of offices have no hrs or a shorter day, the days around holidays) and if it is I'd then set up a whole days appts with other Drs to annoy and waste her time, while also seeming caring and lovingly pushy to her and your dh.

Does dh really believe she has an appt, especially if she hasn't done it there before? If so, ruh-ro for you! She's got him fooled.[/quote]m

Exactly!! It's the next day and we are still fighting about this. Part of him knows she is manipulating and he is caught in the middle. We have been married for 20 years so this is nothing new. The latest update, he told her he would book hotel rooms for her and him right near the appointment since traffic is a nightmare the entire holiday weekend and he wants to go to this doctor with her. We still don't have a name of a doctor.  I am trying to give him some space but I am boiling mad and sick of her games. [/quote]

Can you find a nice last-minute trip to go on with your immediate family?[/quote]

Is he calling her bluff with this?  Because it's kind of brilliant if he is.  I'm sure she wants to be with grandkids, not chilling in a hotel. And if there's not a real problem that will become obvious pretty fast once he's there.  [/quote]
