My BIL and his family are supposed to be coming to visit this weekend. They live in Atlanta (they're 5 hours from us door-to-door) and have only come to see us once in more than 3.5 years. We've made quite a few trips there (usually about twice a year) but lately it's been pretty clear that they don't want us there. They're asses, in my opinion.
We invited them here for Thanksgiving since they haven't met Dorian yet. Noah said they were too busy to leave town but we should go there. I said no, I didn't want to drive 5 hours with the baby to hang out with people who didn't even want me to come when we were possibly having to evacuate b/c of a hurricane. So about 2 weeks later Noah calls Ben and says "Hey, we're going to grandma's for Thanksgiving, you guys should meet us there." #1) Thought you were too busy to leave town, so now you're going to drive the 8 hours there instead of the 5 hours here. #2) We didn't want to drive 5 hours, what makes you think we want to trek 11 hours up there with the baby??? Grr...That's great they're visiting their grandma, and if they'd said "Oh, we're already planning on going up there" when we asked in the first place, I would have been fine with it.
I'm shocked that they want to visit. I'm still not sure they're coming. They've mentioned it before then never did follow through. I made Ben call Noah on Tuesday and get a firm answer. I need to get my house straightened up and buy groceries if they are. Noah said yes, so we'll see. They're coming Saturday, late morning/early afternoon and leaving Sunday in the late afternoon. Both Fiona and Rosie are in school, so they can't stay longer, which is just fine with me.
Grr...We'll probably have an alright time, it just irritates me b/c they treat Ben like shit. Ben and Noah were always best friends, now look how he treats him, and Ben just puts up with it b/c he still wants them to be as close as they used to be.
Last year at Christmas was a mess, but a long story, I won't even go into it, but that's when we really realized we weren't welcome to stay in their home.
Honestly, I think it's me. they were close til Ben and I got married. Noah's wife, Erin has made stupid comments to me that piss me off, but I'm too nice to say anything back. Not long after we were married, she was looking at my ring (it was Ben's grandmothers) and said "Sue (MIL) wanted Noah to give that to me, but I thought it was ugly". Thanks. And No, Sue never offered it to you thankyouverymuch. She also said "Mary (other SIL) and I were talking about you two just after I met you. She said that she could tell you two would get married, I didn't think so at all." Again, Thanks Beeeeeeotch.
Sorry about the vent...they piss me off so much. I'm not looking forward to being around the rest of the in-laws so much. Oh well.
I am excited to see our nieces though.
