Re: Inlaws showing up unannounced
this is a norm in my ILs too, I used to fret a lot about it and kept wondering yeh kya tareeqa hai ! All of them live in other cities and they ‘surprise’ each other and never know when to leave r how many DAYS they’d stay Over 6 years, the only thing that has changed is me NOT blabbering or creating a fuss when someone ‘surprises’ us. I have a room read ALL the time for stayover guests, a haleem or chicken karahi in the freezer and rest comes from restaurants. I havve stopped getting upset because inn sub ka yehi tareeqa hai and I canot do anything about it except for modifying things at my end. Good thing is they are not demanding nor do they complain about how anyone dealt with them.
Sigh…it looks like I’ll have to be more adaptive and do the same. Because me complaining everytime this happens is getting me nowhere because he just doesn’t get it.
