So a few days ago dh announced that as they were visiting friends in the area, his parents would drop in today.
So for the past few days I've asked him about a card and present for mils forthcoming birthday, as well as lunch plans for their visit (are we eating in, going out etc). I even suggested gifts, restaurants etc but he assured me it was all in hand.
Last night he still assured me it was all in hand. This morning though, when I checked again, he had no gift or present, so I had to get something in a hurry so as not to be rude, I had an hour to rush out and buy something. Pil arrived and we all chatted, played with dc etc. As lunchtime approached it came clear dh had no plans and asked his parents what they'd like to do. As the guests, they were embarrassed that he'd offered no suggestion of a restaurant or food at our house, I was cringing but busy looking after dc, then I heard mil suggest she'd go out and get sandwiches. At this point I intervened and suggested dh go out and get sandwiches as they were the guests (I also reminded dh to get cakes etc). Dh returned with bread! Not sandwiches. Then he said he didn't want tomake the sandwiches as he doesn't like handling egg! So mil took over and made them, I tried to help but she didn't want me to as I was busy with dc.
Am I missing something or should a grown man be able to organise lunch for his guests, without resorting to expecting them to make their own sandwiches? pil were very embarrassed as was I. aibu to not let him organise again, so I'll have a home cooked lunch ready or a restaurant booked?
