Sorry, this is a bit of a rant and it is about PIL so if you don't like PIL threads look away now.
PIL and SIL and BIL and DM stayed with us for 2.5 weeks over Christmas (SIL got married on 4th Jan and they all live abroad or quite a long way away hence the long stay). So 8 people in a house normally used to 3. Quite a squeeze and all on top of each other / tempers fraying etc etc. They have also left all their worldly goods at our house, filling the cellar and every available storage space and leaving my spare room looking like a jumble sale. So I'm not at my most reasonable.
BUT...
PIL didn't lift a finger all stay. They made themselves pots of tea and breakfast but apart from that were waited on hand and foot by me and DP (with help from DM and DSIL).
Their sole contribution was a Christmas cake which they bought and decorated because MIL doesn't like marzipan so wanted it to suit her.
They left yesterday at last and I am putting house back in something like order - running washing machine on loop etc. Looked around for the last of the cake (about 1/4 still left). THEY BLOODY TOOK IT WITH THEM.
AIBU to think this is like taking a bottle to a dinner party, drinking all night then seeing your bottle is unopened and so taking it back home? And that PIL are cheeky fuckers?
