My in-laws are visiting for a week at the end of next month and they like to visit until late in the evening. However, I typically go to bed at 7 PM because I have to get up at 4 AM to train for my sport before work. I’ll have just finished a competition and will be beginning training for another one when they’re here.
What’s the best way to set boundaries with them without coming across as an asshole? My wife will probably want to stay out later while they’re here, so I’ll have to figure out a way to compromise.
To make it more interesting, what are some things your in-laws do that annoy you when they visit?
Can’t you just go to bed at your regular time and let your wife tend to the guests? I don’t really see the problem.
What annoys me most about my in-laws when they visit is the racist shit they spout. But they’ve learned pretty quickly that we don’t tolerate that. Especially not in our home.
We’ll, we live in a much more scenic state so they’re going to want the tourist treatment. So I figure we’ll be out and about quite a bit. Otherwise I’d just say goodnight and bail.
I feel you on the racist shit, except it’s my own dad that does that.
