My mother in law and brother in law are coming here for a visit and will be here at 5:00 today - I need advice on how to keep sane. My MIL is nice enough and so is the brother in law but he is VERY judgmental and likes to tell me about the diet that would work for me and then gives advice on child rearing - He is gay and married to his SO and has zero experience with kids - My kids are really nice, polite people BTW but my son has Asperger's and a genius IQ and he says what he thinks. I encourage him to be himself. He is a nice boy with a great sense of humor but if you guys know anything about Asperger's, I pick my battles with him - I let him be and give him more leeway. He and I get along great and we are the best of friends.
I would no more visit my brother in law and tell him how to run his life than I would try to steal a Zamboni to use as my own personal gardening tool. :wtf:
HELP

Hey, it's your house, and you get to set the rules!
If your guests misbehave, tell them they'll be out on the curb, WITH their luggage!
That should do it.
And no, I'm not kidding.
I'm in a tough, take-no-prisoners mood today, in case you're wondering!
:P

Fear was for nothing!
We had a great time - My bother in law was wonderful - he didn't mention my fat ass and he didn't do anything about saying my son is a "problem" YET.
I have two and a half more daze with them but tonight went really well. He brought me a giant fucking wheel of Edam cheese from his town in Holland - (not Edam but close????)
Anyway I have so much cheese that you need to come over and help us eat it!
If anyone is mean to me I will let you know Peggy.

Peace-
