We're going on our first family holiday together (me, DH and baby DS) this weekend. Not far - an hours drive away.
I'm looking forward to it as it's a break from the routine at home with the same old surroundings etc etc.
DH joked about inviting his brother to come for a day. I joked back that we were supposed to be on holiday... (his brother lives near us anyway). Then he suggested that his parents come and visit (again, they live 20 mins away and we see them weekly. Well I do as they visit their GC.)
It turns out that DH invited his parents anyway, so clearly my joking was not taken seriously. I'm not impressed - I find it strange that they should come - I wanted a holiday not a continuation of a normal week.
I couldn't work out why exactly it bothers me - I think it's because I find them annoying sometimes, I can't relax around them and it's not as if they live near our holiday destination. But they're nice enough and have helped us loads in the past so find it difficult to put my foot down.
AIBU to not want them (or any other family mners) to visit us while we're away??
P.s I've name changed as DH knows my nickname and loves to browse spend hours reading MN
