Okay.
FH has one brother and he is married, they got married last year but were living together before that. And every year they've spent Christmas with her parents.

She is 24 years old and has been whining all the time that she cannot spend Christmas with HER family this year. Why? Because FH's brother (Her husband) is working. She won't do anything without him. She wouldn't come to our Engagement Party because he worked.

So, she is just whining all the time about this.
They decided to invite FH's parents down for 24th, 25th, 26th... 3 days, to stay with them instead of her going home. She does not get along at ALL with his dad.

FH's parents came to see us yesterday but not very long. They were supposed to come at 11:30 am but came at 2 pm. They were late because his mom was having chest pains and went to the hospital (She is okay). They just lost their business-it's really sad so she is having stress. (FH's brother thinks it's a GOOD thing that they lost their business-don't get me started).

Anyhow, while they were with us... FH's brother stopped by and told them he was going home NOW so they had to leave (even though they have separate cars). They live just over an hour away.

I would have liked to spend more time with FH's parents. She had on her Facebook status "WANT TO BE HOME WITH MY FAMILY! MAKING THE BEST OF IT. INSTEAD MY IN-LAWS ARE HERE!"

Someone commented, they thought it was rude. And I left some messages and she deleted all of them. I just think she's being really childish. She should be happy that his parents are there (and since he's working-she's with them because he'd only be home long enough to sleep).

FH's parents called FH last night and said they'd rather be with us!!!! I felt so bad!!!!

They wanted to have dinner today with someone but SIL said "IF YOU CAN'T BE HERE FOR 3 DAYS... DON'T COME AT ALL". So she got her way, they're there for 3 days, and cancelled their plans.

ugh. Anyway, Mom got FH and I a queen sized bed at his apartment for Christmas. He wants to have his parents come spend the night-maybe on the 26th.

I just feel so bad for them... and I just wish SIL would be... happy that they are there with her! We'd love to have them here with us.

Wow, that facebook status was childish. I mean I don't like my in-laws but keep it on the DL, for crying out loud. It sucks they can't be there with you, that would make more sense.

This is just what I was wondering. I was thinking that it seemed very rude (Facebook is pretty much 'airing your dirty laundry'--so many people see it!) I just think she's being so immature.

She really could HAVE gone home if she wanted-it's about an hour. If she wanted Christmas morning with her parents and sister-go home! He would have been working 6 am-6 pm anyway.

I don't know why they invited his parents down because she just COMPLAINS about them visiting!! If he's working, she's going to be there with them!

She's ignoring me or something now because she is addicted to her Blackberry. I even just wrote asking if they are staying for the 3 days and she didn't answer.

Think things are patched up.

My fiance's parents came here on their way home on the 26th, and we went visiting a ton of his relatives together with his parents. It was nice.

And nearly two weeks ago, we went to visit his brother and wife, and spent the night. And he asked his brother to be in our wedding.

Glad to hear everything is patched up. Her FB status crossed the line. She needs to grow up a bit!

She told me why she was so upset.
Apparently, MIL kept asking when they are having grandchildren over and over (because she said they'd have a baby born spring 2009-never happened).

And she said they *just* started fertility treatment. When FIL found out there's a chance of twins or triplets-he flipped out.

Honestly, I support whatever they want to do. It's not my life.
And, I would like to be an aunt. It's different than having your own. FH has one brother and I'm an only child.

Ack - no wonder she was freaking out. That sucks.

Being an aunt is lots of fun. I hope it happens for you!!

Yup, I do feel bad for her. She has never gotten along with FIL, they are terrible with each other. FIL is quite immature (extremely immature) and rude.

I would like to be an aunt for sure. She's always wanted kids, and she is a teacher (just graduated last year) so I bet the teaching is hard with all the kids around. I like kids, I do babysitting. I just really don't think they're for me. I love my cats! I made a joke to my vet about people who get rid of a cat because they had a baby, I said I'd get rid of the baby. She laughed, she has a good sense of humor. We love our vet.
