Dh needs to be measured for tails type suit for sils wedding. We went to church this morning dh works saturdays although he does have days off during the week. Mil has been going on for weeks that she wants fil and dh to go together fil works all week and has weekends off. Anyway I can't see why dh can't go during the week when he is available and fil goes on a saturday iyswim. Turns out thaat mil has been hassling dh about getting measuured this afternoon. Apparantly although wedding is not for another 6 months sil has stipulated that it absolutely MUST be done this week at the very very latest! Not only that but when I pointed out that they don't have to be done together and dh could do it during the week and fil on a saturday, she said its the whole build up thing the excitement and looking forward to the day and I should be involving the entire family (ie me ds1 and ds2) as part of that! When dh said that if we do go today I'll be staying behind so ds2 can have his afternoon nap she said doesn't dw want to see you being measured up? she sounded really surprised. Pil came round about 1.5 hours ago surprised that ds2 was asleep and I was having to stay behind thought I should have kept him up!!!! Even suggested we postpone it till next week although that is the deadline sil has stipulated so we can involve the whole family and include a meal out in this! In the end dh pil and ds2 went (mostly as ds2 wanted a trip out not because it is of any interst to a 3 year old at all! Ridiculous and no it is not a joke thread I only wish it was!
