A week ago, my wife told me she would take a few days vacation, so she and the children could drive to her parants and stay there for a few days. Don't get me wrong, I love my wife very much and i love my children more than life it self, but just once in a while it is very very nice to have a few days by your self. I had it all planed out. A lot of modeling, loud music, even more modeling, dvd movies and perhaps a few friends could come over need I say more.
But today my wife told me she had changed her mind, she would stay at home and (this is where it gets depressive) her parents would come and stay with us for a few days instead. ARRRGH the pain, the pain.
I could have had a few days home alone, but now I get a few days(forever) with my mother in law. It's unbearable.
It took my wife 10 sec. to tell me that, hence from joy to despair in 10 sec.

James: Why didn't I think of that. I'm sure there's a modeling convention in Greenland.

So sorry to hear of your news. I'm lucky, my wife and her Mother can't each other so the wicked witch of the west never visits. I feel your pain though. Maybe now would be a good time to put in some overtime at work?

In ye olde yonda days of youth there was a song......
"Mother-in-Law"........
"We'd have a happy home....... if you'd just leave us alone....... Mother-inLaw......!!!!"......
After a few years of marriage, I got along better with my mother in law than my ex-wife...... she always took my side in every arguement....... Heck.... she knew I was always right....... :-) :-) :-) :-)

Man i feel for you mate what a bummer,good luck while they are there...you could get ill and stay in bed out of the way..just athought
Cheers Chris

I understand you sentiment... about twice a year, my wife take my two young boys for a week's visit to family... I immediately schedule a matching period of vacation time from work, then just putter around the empty house with my cat, working on dioramas, models, loud war movies (in slow motion!) and watching sports on TV... does wonders for the marriage, and I get a LOT of modeling done.

Hwa-Rang - you have my deepest sympathies. My wife does this to me constantly. Builds me up all week, then voila, the special day rolls around she's changed her mind!

Funny thing is, it's too quiet around here without the brood! :-)

SO SAD>>>>SO SAD>>>even though we are now divorced I call her mother MOM and her Aunts still is AUnt June
