YSD graduated over the weekend and DH is now done with CS. I really can't believe that I survived this long to see this day happen. LOL.

There was minimum graduation and in-laws visiting drama.

Thursday night DH confirmed that SIL, MIL and SIL 2 small children would be arriving at our house at 6:00am on Saturday, they would get ready for graduation and then they would get a hotel. DH seemed 100% fine with this so I didn't question it or bring anything up.

Well 6:30am on Saturday rolls around and they are not here. DH calls and they are actually at a hotel. Because they instead got into town at 1:00am???

(Not sure why they were leaving at weird times anyways. They are 6 hours from us and neither adult was working so not sure why they didn't leave at a "normal" time.)

So they drive by the house at the time they need to leave to make it to graduation and honk, DH comes out and they leave. They attend graduation. All go to lunch and then DH comes home.

I had made plans with friends to go out that night and DH decides he wants to go. So he meets up with his family for dinner and then later we go out with friends.

DH never invited me to eat with them for either lunch or dinner, though later he brought it up that I should have came???? Honestly I didn't want to see the skids so I was just stepping back and letting his family visit and do their thing. Not sure if I gave DH the impression that I didn't want to come and that is why he didn't extend the invitation or what? But I also figured that at some point the in-laws would come by the house and I would see them then.

Well in-laws never came over. I did find it a little odd that in-laws didn't make an effort to come to our house and visit with me. For YEARS they would come to town and spend time with me and DH at our house and never even make an effort to see the skids. Now this past year I noticed them making a bigger effort with the skids. Which is fine, that is their family.

I have expressed here that I did not want them staying with me for the whole weekend but I never expressed that with them at all. And it's not like I didn't want to see, I just didn't want to deal with them for the weekend.

A hotel did work out a lot better for them though because they could come and go as they please, visit with the skids and since they came and left at really odd hours (1am arrival and then left at 4am on Sunday).

Later Saturday night DH does tell me that all the hotel rooms were booked and that in-laws had been looking for a hotel??? But it was brought up when I was drinking so I didn't really ask him for details. The next day I asked him why they were looking for another hotel room and why didn't they stay here if they needed a place to stay? DH said SIL told him that her and I had texted awhile back and SIL felt like they would have been an inconvenience.

I've bitched about the situation A LOT on here but never told SIL she couldn't stay. I did tell her months ago when we first started discussing this weekend that I thought it was silly to drive 6 hours with a newborn for just the ceremony when we wouldn't be having a party for YSD and OSD and MSD were not allowed at our house.

We have talked since then. Like no issues, sending texts, pictures, etc. So not sure what made her change her mind from us being fine to this weekend comes and she thinks she can't stay with us- especially when she was having trouble finding a hotel.

So not sure where they ended up staying or what happened with all of that. I'm just going to leave everything alone and it is what it is. I've been having a lot of negative feelings in regards to the skids and in-laws so I think it's best for me to take a step back from it all and work on some things with me.

DH seemed totally fine with the whole weekend. I got the impression that he was actually fine with them not staying with us so I guess that is all that matters.

I am going to post another blog soon about something that did rub me the wrong way... but other then that I think the weekend went pretty well and I am so glad it is over.
