Dear All. My partner's parents arrived at lunch time Christmas Eve. They didn't leave until lunchtime on the 27th. I spent 3 days as a permanent waitress, laying the table every day for breakfast lunch and dinner and getting drinks. The dishwasher didn't stp and neither did I. My partner also rushed around after them too.I think they may have offered to help more if we had a bigger kitchen - it's a squeeze to get in and out- but I still think they could have helped out more....helped themselves to breakfast etc. To make things worse, they are both extremely dull...very sweet...but dull. His father sits with his nose in a book and barely speaks. His mother is just very "westcountry" and doesn't really have much to talk about because she lives in a rural hamlet. Is it unreasonable to say to my partner I really can't stand to spend too much time in their company either at their house or our flat?
