Family visiting from abroad, staying in our house, they're very welcome.
They wanted to go out to a certain place this afternoon but I was cooking dinner for everyone and clearing up lunch pots. So they went out and I stayed home.
Two cars: 4 adults and 4 children.
I called at 5pm and asked what time they'd be home and was told they wouldn't be setting off for another hour.
I asked my parents to bring my kids home sooner as they're tired and I wanted them to be in bed at a reasonable time tonight.
Well... it's caused a massive hoohah!!!
I've been told that they're on holiday and don't want to be summoned back for dinner at a certain time. There's been an argument and I'm being ignored!
- this is also my holiday (we stay in England for the summer so we can see them when they visit).
- they could've told me they didn't want dinner when I stayed home to cook it.
- I wasn't asking them to come back.
- I thought they were here to see us.
- my house is not a b&b.
- my children are so tired from many late nights that they've been crying at everything today.
So, why am I the villain?
