My MIL, SIL and niece are due to visit next week for 6 days. The last visit was incredibly stressful as DH and SIL fell out, words were exchanged and it left me feeling stressed and counting the days down until they left. SIL has not been well recently and is coming to stay due to depression. MIL recently visited for 10 days and said that SIL needed a break. I voiced that I didn't feel the visit would be a good idea due to the last visit and the stress and angst it caused. MIL disregarded this and went ahead and booked train tickets to come up to visit. I am concerned that it is going to be another stressful visit and I am dreading it.
On MIL's last stay, DH changes and becomes really bossy. I think it's in response to MIL's bossiness. MIL whips things up, I get upset and it is generally a miserable time. I am not very good at hiding my feelings and MIL gets annoyed and tells me to stop pulling faces.
We have now discovered that MIL, SIL and niece have Covid. MIL and SIL are still not well and I suggested that it might be better if they changed their travel days. This has gone down poorly and I have been accused by both as using Covid as an excuse for not wanting them to visit. I have told DH that I do not want them here unless they can prove they have negative tests. I am concerned that they will be carrying the virus and DH, myself of our 2 children will test positive and what is a 7 day stay, becomes a 17 day stay.
AIBU to insist they change their plans?
