DP's parents spend about 3 months in the country over the Summer then about 3 weeks over Xmas. They live in Oz and NZ throughout the rest of the year. The thing is, they insist on having all of their mail sent to our flat because apparently they NEED a UK address to send SOME of their mail to. They have loads and loads of mail...it is rarely mine or DP's and when they came back last Summer having spent 6 months in Oz, we had carrier bags full to give to them.
We have nowhere to stash it all and DP told them that if it can sit here for 6 months then it mustn't be all that important so can they cancel it from being sent here. They said they would but we are still getting loads of it and I noticed that our address is still the business address on FIL's website so all his business stuff is being sent here. I am fed up with having to pick it all up and store it somewhere for them.
The thing is, I feel like I am nitpicking at them for this because I don't get on with them. To cut a long story short, they reacted badly and negatively when we told them I was pg with our 1st baby back in March. We had a war of words because I said they had no right to say the things they had said, this went on for a few months and I decided to tell them to stay out of my life when DP received a 7 page email in July (yes, I printed it off to show a friend) telling DP that I was trying to split their family up and come between them all and trying to manipulate him into thinking that I am no good for him calling me every name under the sun...even though I am having his baby and we love each other so much. It has been a massive heartache for DP and me and has caused stress in our relationship but things seem to have quietened down for the moment which I am happy with.
Now I am reminded of them when I have to pick their bloody mail up every morning and it is really peeing me off but I just want to know if I am overreacting? We are moving in December and am expecting for them to ring round all their important contacts giving our new address out to everybody so muggins here can carry on doing them favours without being asked if it is okay. I suspect DP's dad will put our address on his website again and will do so without asking me. I say 'I suspect' because he has nobody else's address to put down.
Sorry for being such a moany cow. I can't moan to DP about it anymore and it is winding me up.
