Oh in laws...

Thought I'd share my latest in law vent...

As you all know, we live close to DH's family. I usually host a mother's day dinner at my home with all of DH's family since I have been the only non mother in the past. I liked doing it to celebrate all the moms in the family... DH's mom, and two SILs who are moms. Well... I'm a mom now so I didn't offer to host a dinner. I said I don't want to spend the day cooking and cleaning. I don't think anyone should have to host a dinner. I'd like to visit, then go home and be with my babies all day. 

Well, here's the conversation I overhear between DH and his sister while they were trying to plan what to do for their mom...

SIL:  We need to have a dinner at someone's house, because we can't go out to eat since all the restaurants are so crazy... I can't host. I don't think mom should have to host, and we know other SIL won't host... so could we do it at your house?

DH: Nope, DW wants to take it easy all day and not have dinner.

SIL: Well what are we going to do??

Ah well... I'm trying not to worry about it too much. DH's mom would be perfectly happy with a visit and our gift to her. There's really no need for a big dinner. Hopefully SIL will get over it!

    this is what I was going to say. Especially since its your husbands family and you've always done it in the past.

    The SIL who wants me to host a dinner lives 2 hours away, so thats why she can't do it! She has a history of volunteering our house for family gatherings and, well, we let it happen because we're pushovers! Not this time!
