Visiting In-Laws

What's the big deal? I've been married 21 years and my father-in-law and his wife are coming for a visit in 11 days.

It's their first visit to my home.

Ever.

I'm a little freaked out.

I'm firmly planted in denial

Thanks ya'll.

We've gone to see them repeatedly over the years, but this is the first time they're coming to us.

My in-laws will be in my house.

Weird.

Overall, yes, but in the last 5 or so years the favoritism he feels towards his younger son (my hubby is the oldest) has really been evident.

The only reason they're coming out is that they've gone to see my brother-in-law twice and they've never come to see us. My husband was hurt (as he goes to see Pop regularly and his younger brother rarely visits) and actually didn't speak to them for, what for them was a long time, so now my FIL is coming out.

After 21 years...I kinda don't want them to come anymore.

My husband wants to move closer to my FIL.

Either he'll start "popping in" like yours do comfort or we'll still never see him.

It is tough because I used to live 2 miles from my mom and we never popped in on one another. It has been almost 3 years and I am still not used to it.

(It tends to be something hubbys parents and siblings do)

You need to up the stakes. Answer the door in a gimp suit or wearing a strap-on.

Pop-ins will be a thing of the past.
