To think that my BIL should really take the hint now & leave?

Despite being horrendously busy this weekend, DH agreed with his bro for him to 'pop in' for a quick lunch today so the DC could all play together.

He reminded him earlier how busy we are with lots of jobs still to be done before DS's birthday party in 2 weeks & also told him that I've not been feeling too well (not a lie).

They arrived at midday, we finished lunch about 1.5hrs ago and they're STILL HERE.

I've tried rubbing my head & eyes, complaining of a headache, asking for water as I 'feel a bit funny' & casually reminding DH that we were going to try & get to the shops before they close but no dice.

Btw, it's not just me who wants them gone, DH cornered me in the kitchen saying 'Why are they still here?!' to me.

AIBU to think he should take the numerous hints?!

Have they gone yet? Are any shops still open?

ANd people on here talk about their family and friends ALL THE TIME so I really wouldn't worry about that.

Thank you thumbsnose I was tempted to say 'Who can say, hands on their heart, they've never talked about someone behind their back?' but I'm wary of what I say now.

DH manned up anyway & effectively told them to go. Have been to the shops and back Smile

oh good! About time too, seeing as how it's his brother. Glad you got to the shops in time, anyway. :)

apocalypsecheesetoastie We weren't going to Sainsbury's, we were choosing some furniture & bits for our house so, yes, it did need both of us.
