Random drop in visits

My FIL and I get on quite well, have very little in common but can pass the time chatting about DS's. He always calls in unannounced with some random guest or friend in tow and I seldom know the person. He calls with no notice and always seems to catch us mid breakfast, before me or the DC are dressed and the house is still in disarray. He expects me to drop all to make coffee and talk nonsense with this stray(for the want of a better word), all the while commenting that the house looks a bit disheveled and asks if my children own clothes! This infuriates me but also is embarrassing because of the random uninvited guest. So AIBU to think that his behaviour is completely unacceptable and unfair to me and my family. DH has asked him to at least give some notice before he lands in but it seems to fall on deaf ears ConfusedSad

Whereyouleftit I definitely think that I'll be giving your advice a go. It's beyond a bloody joke now, me and DH are at each other's throats because I'm so worked up every time FIL leaves. Have any of you had experience with pushy in laws? Thanks for all the advice and listening to my rants Smile

He sounds like a misogynistic controlling bastard who is getting off on trying to push your buttons. He's being so rude to you, you absolutely have the right to be rude back and tell him to fuck off out of your house.

Is he Scottish ?

Block him physically from coming in, herd him out the door. I echo locking the door, then net curtains so he can't see in. He does need telling again, very straight, that he gives notice of a visit, preferably without randoms or he doesn't get to come in. Sounds like a twat.

Oi ?? why would you ask if he was Scottish ?? hahaaaa

BitchinBlack · 15/01/2017 23:47

No not Scottish Hmm. He's Irish. The more I am chatting with you all I'm realising just how crazy this whole situation is. Net curtains are a great idea, guess where I'm going tomorrow Wink
