to wish I had more balls? Or whatever

[winkywinkola]

the female version is.

Family Christmas event all day yesterday. 18 people.

In laws ask to come on Friday. Fine. Now after everyone else has gone late last night, they ask to come again today.

I am tired. We all are. Why didn't I just say no? They always push for more and it makes me resentful and not want them over anytime soon.

Learn to say no, you are only human xxx

Call them right now and say sorry you've just remembered you had made plans to go out/meet friends/get some last minute shopping.

Be really breezy but firm and just repeat "so we'll see you on Friday then".

Well they've been here Friday and Saturday when everyone else was here.

I might just go out by myself but I think I get v irritated with people who just don't seem to understand what is polite in terms of hosting.
