ILs are annoying

*Barbie*

sometime in Jan, I posted about the drama with Wolverine's baptism...
the whole time leading up to the birth, all we heard was that the ILs (ALL of them) were planning to come visit when Wolverine was baptized (and apparently my parents are awful for not making a 2nd trip specifically for the baptism).

My sister is godmother, and took a week off from work to come visit/stay with us. DK and I decided that we only had room for 1 more adult (or we would stretch and let his parents stay with us, if they asked). One of his sisters asked if we would mind her staying with us, and we said no, so she got the other bed. We have a 5BR house, but only 2 rooms are set up for guests - I was not about to start loading up my couches and air mattresses with people just to fit everyone in. This caused some drama (I'm sure of it, although nothing was said directly to me) since his other sister would have to stay in a hotel.

(the SIL staying in the hotel is the one that was living with MIL and FIL for the past 7 months, and the one who threw a  fit when we told her she couldn't bring nephew for the baptism. she did nothing but cause extra work and stress for ILs, so I didn't need the extra work having her stay with us.)

We originally wanted to have the baptism 2/13, and it worked for everyone, except BIL, who said he couldn't get off from work. Since we wanted to do it before I went back to work, and the church doesn't do baptisms during lent, 3/5-3/6 is the only weekend both sister and BIL were free. We told everyone the date in January, so they had about 2 months to book travel.

as of tuesday, BIL still has not booked his plane ticket. he said he was waiting for fares to drop - but they are up to $650 and rising. (he could have booked round trip for $250-300 if he had done it 4-6 weeks ago). I have a feeling BIL will not be coming, and will be PISSED if we moved this for him, and he was the no show.

also, i got a very cute pair of black and white diamond skull and crossbone earrings that I plan to wear the entire time MIL is in town.

I will weep tears of joy if you convince the priest to dress as a pirate for the baptism.

**O-Face**

I don't understand why BIL neeeeeeds to be there if he is going to make stupid decisions, it's his fault he's missing it.

Yes, ILs are annoying.  Sorry they're being a PITA.

thatgrrrrl

have i told you that I hate your ILs on your behalf? No offense, DK.

IL's suck...They suck more when you are pregnant or have a baby.

Your BIL deserves a junk-punch.  Airfare IS NOT going drop, fvcktard.
