princez916 Posted November 17, 2008 Posted November 17, 2008 Desperate times call for desperate measures; Tell your DH that he has to tell them that they are not invited and or they can not stay for 4days and if he doesn't do it you will be cutting him off from any lovin until after the holidays. Tell the family that you came down with the flu and it just isn't possible for them to stay. Send them a list of hotels in the area complete with prices and contact information. Good luck!We had a big fight about it this morning. I'm so tired of this crap.
buckaboo21 Posted November 17, 2008 Author Posted November 17, 2008 Thank you everyone for your suggestions. :) I hope I do not sound awful but after packing 1/4 of a 30 pd turkey, mash, sweet potato, turnip, veggies, rolls, hors d'oeuvres, dessert with a weigh in total of about 20 pds (estimate) I thought it would be enough LOL I guess I will just have to make double what I normally do and have her back up her mini van so it can loaded after
arf110106 Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 In my family taking home food is an automatic thing...actually it's encouraged! But I guess the best you can do is just pack what you can and hopefully they will not make a huff about it. It's the holidays why start drama. lol Btw I'm new and I'm loving this forum!
gbeenie Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 Have I mentioned how glad I am that my family live hundreds of miles away?
princez916 Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 Have I mentioned how glad I am that my family live hundreds of miles away? I tried that, didn't work. We moved from upstate NY to TN. I thought how wonderful it was to be away from the in-laws, then they all followed us down here.
