my turn. small inlaw vent

We were going to have DH's parents & sister over for breakfast tomorrow, easy, simple.  2 days ago they all decided they didn't want to wake up.  So they invited themselves over for dinner tonight instead.

Which meant that we lost tonight for wrapping presents, had to figure out wtf to feed everyone, bla bla, along with everything else going on.

I know they just want to make it vaguely easier on us, I mean Bryan's not going anywhere, so they're coming here.  But dude.  NOTICE.  We need NOTICE and a PLAN ppl.

    Not cool.  Inconsiderate.  Hope you get everything done in time!!
    promised myself I'd retire when I turned gold, and yet here I am

    That would stress me out beyond belief. Pizza for Christmas Eve dinner, anyone?

    Go to store. Buy huge pan of Stouffer's lasagna and Pepperidge Farm garlic bread. Done.

    I'm with WB's...and when it comes to family, I have NO problem saying such things.  I would call and say "Hey, we still have to wrap some gifts, etc and would love for you all to come over and celebrate with us but we weren't prepared for making a dinner.  Do you mind if we do Chinese take out?"

    Or hey, have breakfast for dinner (assuming you already have all the stuff for breakfast)!!  :)

    We do potluck for Christmas Eve, everyone brings something so that my grandma doesn't have to worry about cooking when everyone gets back from church. Can everyone bring something for dinner like a side dish, salad, dessert that way you only need to do a main course?

    Lari- close, we bought lasagne makings.  They're cheap enough to make, though we do have to make two.  One for the vegatarians, one for the meatatarians.  Easy enough, just, dude.

    Everyone else is too broke to bring anything much but we guilted FIL into a salad and MIL into drinks.  We only keep milk & juice in the house, they all only drink soda or alcohol so they're on their own lol

    Le sigh.
