Yep. That's what I am in. It seems that my wife was upset that neither
my son or I would attend a dinner at her church. I do not do church events, and he has a good excuse because he is working that day. She invited her niece... the Big Niece. I was not consulted. She knew I would say no. Maybe she thought it would be a fait accomplis if she went ahead and invited her. Nope. No way. Not happening. I am in the dog house. Plans have changed a bit. BN is now taking the bus down, being picked up and taken to the dinner, then back to the bus for the trip home. She is not coming to my house.... not this weekend, or any time in the future. I am in deep shit over it, but I should be able to sleep well, not having to worry about someone sneaking through the pantry and helping herself to everything her little heart desires. There is a line in the sand. It is bad enough that she has to be included in family events, but she is not to be invited to come on her own. I hope you are all happy. I have probably been cut off for a while, but... it's worth it. |

I >have probably been cut off for a while, but... it's worth it. I fail to understand, what does it matter if she helps herself to everything her little heart desires?? It's clearly not something in her control. Have a little empathy, your wife might like you better. |

The reason is that she doesn't live around here and would presumably be driven down by her husband, who I would be expected to entertain. They consider coming down here a weekend in the country and would expect to stay overnight. After my previous experiences with her, I don't want her in my house. |

I told my wife to warn the church people providing the dinner that they will need to prepare twice as much food. |

You yourself posted "plans have changed a bit. BN is now taking the bus down, being picked up and taken to the dinner, then back to the bus for the trip home. She is not coming to my house." So what the heck are you worried about? Jill |

That means my wife has to go to another city to pick her up at the bus station and then take her back to that city to take the bus back home. Yes, there is some concern that she might miss the last bus, but I have been very firm that she is not coming here. |

None of this would have happened if only you had accepted Jesus as your personal savior and gone to church. Aye, the fruit of sin is always bitter. |

Yes, it is her house too. However, there are limits. The niece is not a pleasant person to be around and I cannot bear the way snoops through cupboards and steals food. For crying out loud, no matter how much food is out and being served, she will go in and root around, opening up boxes and stuffing her face. If she sees items in the house that she likes she will ask if she can have them. Then there are the things she has simply taken without asking. I don't want to have to pay for the enormous amount of food she eats when she is here and I told want her going through my pantry and opening things up and eating them. I don't want her in my house. It is bad enough that she has to be included in family events, but inviting her individually was totally unacceptable to me. |

"Presumably" her husband could have gone to the dinner with them. As they only live a bus journey away, he could then easily drive her home. You're just trying to put your downtrodden wife in the wrong because she stood up to your surly control-freakery. Janet UK |

Empty your cupboards and pantry save for a few boxes. Fill those with green rat poison cubes, or (if you're feeling charitable) soft chewy Ex Lax tabs. Done. |

When I did not want to go she asked our son, but he was working. The intercity bus trip is a minimum hour and a half each way, plus the public transit time from her house to the bus station. Then it is a 2o minute drive from the bus station the city where the church is. It really would be much easier for him to drive her. I doubt he would want to go to the church dinner. I am positive that if they drover down they would expect to stay overnight. No thanks. > You're just trying to put your downtrodden wife in the wrong because > she stood up to your surly control-freakery. > It is not control freakery to not want someone in my house who I know is likely to steal. |
