MIL called H while I was making supper last night and of course he still can't tell his mother no.
She apparently found an awesome deal for a flight out here for Thanksgiving. They'd fly out on the Saturday before TG, and stay until the Sunday in the week after TG. That's 15 days.
When he told me, I told him he needed to get his ass back on the phone and let her know that that was simply too long. Especially if - god forbid - I don't have a job and I'M the one who has to keep them entertained.
So he called her back and convinced her to come on the Saturday before TG, and leave the Wednesday after. Not really much of a compromise, but at least it's not two full weeks.
I told him we need to get them to drive themselves up to the Bay for awhile, and he said that she said "We don't care if we see any of California. We just want to see YOU GUYS."
Duckis - I might drive myself up to your area and hide out.
