in laws coming next week. don't know how I'll cope

[PunkrockerGirl]

I posted before and had the thread deleted but now I'm just needing advice.
Background - db has been diagnosed with a terminal illness. In-laws have not contacted me once to offer sympathy etc.
They are coming on Monday through till Sunday although thank God they don't stay with us but in a b&b round the corner.
Anyway, I have been signed off sick for 2 weeks, I'm a palliative care nurse and the situation with my db is just too close to home and I cannot deal with work at the moment.
Aibu to think that just because I'm home, I am off sick and therefore should not be expected to drive them around, cook for them and generally be sociable? And I really, really don't want to hear about how terrible their lives are because of the religion that is parking in their area

I agree with everyone else. This is a horrible time for you and your feelings come first. If they come your DH has to make it clear in advanced that you'e off work sick and going through a terrible time and are not to be bothered. If you'd prefer your DH with you rather than off with his parents then tell him to cancel their trip.

i stand corrected. Thanks Feckthemagicdragon... i think you can all then to reschedule. They SHOULD understand

I'm so sorry about your db. You're off sick, this is a major family stress, of course you can't entertain. And it's a whole week. DH needs to explain the situation and reschedule, he's a part of your family as much as you are of his. Anyone even faintly reasonable will be hugely sympathetic and not want to make things harder for you.
