to bar my BIL & SIL tomorrow??

[lucysmam]

only for one day!

They live next door! & have not stopped knocking for various things since moving in. All today it's been boil a kettle, or fo a cuppa or use the loo as they've had the plumbers in fixing the boiler so their water was off.

I don't think asking for 1 day out of a week is being unreasonable but ......my mil says I can't bar my oh's bro. even if it is just for Sunday so we can have one whole day with our little girl where she doesn't play up because of all the comings and goings.

So . . . AIBU??????

Yes
You can't ban family.
And as for suggestion your kid plays up!
It is lovely for her to have aunt and un
cle so near surely.

I'd move

i think if its just cos their water is off yabu, but if they are just knocking cos they want to yanbu.
you can def bar fanily.

Whatabout :

• Staying in the back where you can't hear the doorbell

• Go out in the morning in the car - park round the corner and come in through the back door

• Put a sign on the door saying no cold callers, religious callers or BILS

beat them to it and knock on their door?

they are just knocking for the sake of something to do. every few mins every day. this is the first night we've actually had some alone time as a couple all week since they moved in.

ilovetochat, I wouldn't bar them just cos they were after water or a cuppa, it's just driving me potty with so many comings & goings that we can't have 5 mins peace & my lo is playing up more than she ever normally does

PMSL @ knock on their door! No thank you very much, I want some peace & quiet. Besides which, she's lazy (weeks worth of pots still waiting to be washed & I did them about 3 weeks worth of clothes washing on weds!!!) & there's always stuff lying around that shouldn't be with a toddler around. Like scissors on coffee table, or open bottle of paracetamol. I feel dead cheeky doing a sweep of their living room before she picks something up she shouldn't have

Go out.

Don't open the door or, like lissiemum says, go out.

why on eerth did they move next door
? couldn't you have hinted it was a bad idea
or your dh?!!

can you not just tell them to phone before they pop in, as A) they're being a bit rude with the constant invasions, B) you need some space before you crack up and bang her over the head with her manky pots!!
