My MIL is generally a nice person but sometimes I find her a bit "spoilt" when she doesn't get to do what she wants.
She has just phoned me to ask if they can come up today to mow the lawn as DH told her yesterday (just chatting on the phone) that he hadn't had the chance to do it because of the rain.
I evenually managed to decline politely.
Thing is: if they come it will be the whole day (til bed time)
DS1 has a friend coming to play for whole day
I will have to entertain them and feed them even though she will say she doesn't want to put me out.
I find it quite stressful having them here especially when DH is out (he's at work today).
I got the impression that she was a bit put out (emotional blackmail?!) and she said "Well, we won't see you now til 19th August" (pre arranged visit)
IABU to expect a bit more notice and some understanding that we do have plans over the holidays?
