Reading staying at someone's house

[teaandtoastwithmarmite]

We have gone to see DH's cousin and family. We've just got here after a long drive and are going for dinner later. The wife is upstairs getting sorted, kids playing and DH and his cousin chatting and watching rugby and I can't get a word in edgeways. Would I be rude to get my book out lol. Hate doom scrolling on phone

I think as long as you put the book away when the wife comes back downstairs then I can't see a problem. I love reading but sometimes find it hard to concentrate if I'm in unfamiliar surroundings where there is a lot of noise.

If you were visiting me I'd be fine with that.

I resisted and went upstairs to get ready 🤣. Can you tell I'm an introverted extrovert really lol. Tbf the wife had a bit of a hangover and not making much conversation. They are lovely but obviously DH and his cousin have more to talk about and DH annoying me after a 4 hour long drive 🤣

I take my embroidery when we visit in-laws. If they are playing board games I will sit in the same room sewing. MIL is also into embroidery so always interested in what I am doing. She brings her book when staying with us

When my sil comes it's been fine. She once brought her laptop and did some work on a Sunday afternoon because she said she wouldn't be bothered when she got home but here it feels different. I'm just not interested in rugby and talking right now lol

And he also made a couple of comments which have really annoyed me
