my stomach would be turning too. You will have to make small talk. I hate small talk. Are they nice people?

i would just shut my mouth on whatever they say even if its rude. Then later call friends or family to complain and vent. That what I do. My FMI and FSI are very critical I just try so hard not to say a peep b/c once I get started I will fly off the handle.

Well since DH is leaving work early to spend time with them- if they wait another hour I can put my tired *** to bed and he can entertain them

They left about midnight and I was so exhausted! My Mil and Fil are still here now, we are bring them to the surprise party at 4
