My wonderful mother in law.

She's invited people to come see my house today. She called about an hour ago to let us know. They will be here at 11. We leave for the funeral at 11. As an added bonus she said we can make them coffee and snacks to eat while we all catch up. All times are central. Now to hide our filth and shame so as not to dishonor our family.

You married?

No, but I'm surrounded by happily married friends who all have well set boundaries with their in-laws, especially when it comes to big things like giving little to no notice about house visitors. Admittedly, most of their parents are chill and not everyone has family who are that considerate. But still.......WUSSY!

Yup, I'm single but will eventually have my shit together to have more independence and start thinking about a long term relationship again. In the meantime, I take advantage of the fact that I have access to a large group of people with steady marriages and store mental notes on how they do it.

Not even close to the same. You only see what they want you to see.

duly noted

When my mother in law breaks something which is constantly,  she comes to my house to get me. Since I primarily work in my home office that means I do nothing all day and am available. She literally sits across from my desk and stares at me until I go do the thing.

Do you owe her a shit load of money? Because that's the only rational reason I can think of to let that behavior go unchecked.

did she arrange any of it with you?  does she talk directly to you or do you hear everything through your wife?  is your wife a member here?

i guess you can handle guests, wait... how dirty?

Nope she just called out of the blue this morning.  My dog destroys his toys so we had to clean up his mess. Other than a random dog hair tumble weed the house stays pretty clean.

How sweet of them to allow you guys to make them coffee and snacks. How did all that go? Sorry for your loss, by the way.
You should have cut really thin slices of cheese, but only around 12 slices with crackers.

It went pretty good. They did the super fast rushed tour then left. The funeral lasted the rest of the day. We only use the fanciest sliced individually wrapped great value cheese for our honoured guests.

I hope it's the sandwich cheese that are individually wrapped in plastic. An added bonus would be to have all TVs playing The Star Wars Holiday Special.
