BFP #2 - June 2011 = DD (Total Surprise!)

My ILs are never going to find out about #2 (vent)
If they do not get their priorities straight!!!
My ILs are serious gamblers and are at the casino right now. I am so fed up with the casino coming before having dinner with their kids/grandkid. We called them yesterday to see if they'd be around (mind you we drive 40 min to them.. they NEVER drive in our direction) and they said they'd have to check their casino schedule to see what time they'd need to check in for their free gift (which mind you is a table top grill, for us, that we don't need or want, and have told them specifically enough with the "free gifts" already). They never called us back. After endless calls to them today, they finally picked up at told us they will be there past 8pm, but are free after that! Seriously? My kid eats dinner at 6 and bed at 7:30... this is nothing new.
We wanted to tell them about #2 tonight. I'm so bummed. So now they are all mad that they haven't seen DS in almost a week (we tried twice this week to get together with them but they were too busy) and we're busy or they're busy every night this week. And now they want to schedule dinner for father's day at the same time as my family (which has been planned for 3 weeks) and do not understand why I refuse to budge.
DH is about to call them and leave them a voicemail saying "Since the casino is priority.. we wanted to let you know M and I are expecting a baby in January.. let us know what your free gift schedule is for that month and we'll schedule the c-section around you..."
Vent over. Thanks for listening. I'd love to call my mom and vent but since she doesn't know about #2 yet.. I can't really do that LOL

I'm so sorry. That sounds awful.
Sometimes it does work to just be blunt and honest... I guess depending on how they would take it.
My mom is constantly complaining about how DD likes my dad more than her. DH finally told her point blank, "If you'd spend time playing with her when you were visiting, instead of working on your laptop, maybe she'd like you more." I know it hurt her feelings, but she definitely got the point because she spent a LOT more time with DD the last time they came over.
GL!
