And this is why people remain single. . .

In-laws.

Or, more to the point, the way your lover/spouse/SO/whatever you call them reacts to their family.

(obligatory note I put on all posts relating to my wife's family: they are perfectly nice people, I don't really hate them but they drive me crazy, mostly because I'm a crusty old misanthrope)

SEVEN?! I would react much the same way. That's crazy talk.

madame_ugly March 9 2010, 17:39:15 UTC

And one of the seven is an infant. (it's no secret how I feel about infants and children in general)

"crazy talk" *snicker* I say that all the time!

OMG, THE horror.

I totally see what annoys you. I'd kill my SO for that.

For some extremely good reaosns I'm SO not into in-laws and I don't mind a partner w/out a family (kids and pets do not count here).

It's nice to hear I'm not alone in my horror. The only person who sees this as no big deal is my brain dead wife.

Wow. Especially since you've posted about the state of your house, having seven people move in for a while? Yikes. How long are they staying?

madame_ugly March 9 2010, 17:43:43 UTC

That's the thing. These people are so bad at making (and then sticking) to plans I'm hoping they're all gone by Sunday. But what time Sunday? Oh, probably late (they're like mold, you just can't get rid of them).

Older SIL (and spouse) arrive Friday night, younger SIL arrives Saturday at 6 p.m. The rest arrive somewhere in between. Then we all have to troop off to a restaurant. Yeah, I just love eating at like 8 or 9 p.m. (and this crowd is the type where they don't even mind that they're the last ones in the restaurant, the whole staff giving them the stink eye).

omg, I would die.

Mind you, I'm used to a full house... but that just means there's even LESS room for anyone else lol. All four bedrooms we have are at capacity, and the dog has the couch... so idk what we would do!!

I'm sending you all my vibes of fortitude and patience!!

That's the thing. I really, really like NOT having to share my home with more than the one wife I have (and my cats). Everything is all set up for TWO humans (like we don't have tons of furniture in our living room, so there's no way everyone could even comfortably all sit and watch a movie).

Thankfully we do have two functional toilets (but only one shower). There is no way in HELL I would stand in line, IN MY OWN HOUSE, to take a leak.

I realy need those patience vibes. I'm a very impatient soul even in the best of situations.

Ah, I feel sorry for you. Really.
I wouldn't want to share my house with that many people and, if I did, I would need lots of time to get used to the idea ( like a week or two)
Fortunately for me I only have one fold out couch-bed and I'd have to know someone real good to share my own bed with. I also have no SO to pop these things on me at the last moment, so I'm all good.

There's just something about the line, "It's a good thing I love my wife or I'd squeeze his neck until his cute little head pops right off. I swear," that's just making me giggle way too much. :)

The worst part is, not eveyone who will be invading my home is a good house guest (which is why I'm glad my MIL and FIL will be at a hotel--they are REALLY bad guests).

I really do want to pop my wife's head right off, like the game we used to play as kids where you pick a dandelion and sing "mama had a baby and the head popped off" as you use your thumb to flick the flower from the stem.
