HAIL THE QUEEN IS COMING!!!

Dh informed me last night that the queen (SD38) is in town with her family. They have been in town for 5 days and are going to grace us with their presence tonight. DH asked “what’s for dinner?” and I said “whatever you’re cooking or order pizza!” DH’s not happy.

I informed DH that the Queen’s dog is NOT allowed in the house (we have a 6 month old blonde lab and she’s in cycle) so DH needed to inform the Queen that the dog was NOT allowed in the house, and if he didn’t tell her then I would. Again, DH is NOT happy.

DH just told me that “you need to order pizza” and it’s a female dog, and don’t worry about the cycle. And I said “no you need to order pizza and no dogs are coming in the house!” Again, DH is not happy.

We have a huge converted garage room where we keep our 3 dogs (I have allergies so the dogs can’t roam the house). But DHs 6 kids INSIST on bringing their dogs at every visit and roam through my house. Since we just got carpeting 2 weeks ago, I told DH “under no frickin circumstance will a dog come through our house and I have no problem telling anyone different!” Again, DH is not happy.

DH just informed me that they’re on the way and he will order pizza. So when they get here (they’re here for 2 hours - it’s a tradition – I can write it in stone!!!) the Queen will comment on everything we have done in our house (painting, new carpeting, rearrangement of furniture, etc.) I told my DH that I will be nice as long as the Queen is nice, but once the gloves are off, he would be best to step in because I’m done and I will say exactly how I feel about the self-centered bitch.

Why can’t our husbands have some balls – support his wife, let his kids know that he’s happy, take a stand, etc ?!

I put up with this shit for 12 years and I am so done! I don't care if DH is happy or not when his kids visit; don't come into my home and think you own it - you'll have one hell of a surprise!

Comments please - I have less than a hour!

Good for you for telling your DH exactly what your expectations are. The boundaries you set are not out of line, and I hope the pizza is good!

Update 1 (it's going to change!)
DH informed me since the Queens dog can't come in the house, they will visit outside then go to the mom's house for dinner. Again, DH is not happy.

DH tried to make me feel guilty because blah blah blah, but I said "if your daughter's dog can come through out our house, then so can our 3 dogs!" Hell have no fury like a man scorned!

It's a guaranteed that words will be exchanged. This is my house and I worked my ass off to make it look nice. Some little bitch is NOT going to come in and start demanding because my DH slept with her mommy. I have 2 words for her and it's definitely not GOOD BYE!

Thanks for letting me vent!

Update 2
The Queen and her family will not be coming for Christmas – they’re going on a cruise. Nice for someone who doesn’t have any money!!!

DH wrapped one GK gift but asked me “I don’t have the Gks gifts bought - what should I do?” I said “Ask the Queen.”

It’s amazing how DH can run around to please someone that doesn’t give a shit about him throughout the entire year; to me, it’s very sad.

And they’re here! Oops I let the dogs out !!! Don't f**k with me tonight@!

FINAL UPDATE
The Queen and her family arrived with the dog, and I of course, opened a beer, and went outside! (shame on me!

DH took the Quuen and GKs for a walk on our acreage and feed all the animals (we live on a farm).

Queens’s husband had a sprang thigh muscle and I iced him and talked to him in the house. No they didn’t stay for dinner but the visit went damn good. They’re not going to be for Christmas holiday – they’re going on a cruise (yeah for me!) They have us a TDay card with the kids school pictures and asked “who do they look like?” And I said “they look like your mother (the ex-wife). Apparently, that was the wrong answer; I guess they’re suppose to look like who THEY want them to look like. The visit was really good (surprisingly) the dog was left out in their car, I was happy, DH was happy, and now DH has to pay $20 for pizza because after all that shit, I’m NOT cooking!

Thanks for letting me vent; I couldn’t have survived this visit without you!

Good for you. A sure fire way to build resentment is to cook a nice meal for people who despise you. Better to order pizza and see where it goes.

Fact - the Queen and her family came. The dog came but didn't come into the house. My dogs growled (normal) and protected against the new dog then everything was fine. I was the good wife and let everyone know pizza was on its way; they left. DH said I was the good wife; pizza came - he paid; dinner was great and life is good!

laughing Toywas.....I really like you. I think its great how some of you can stand up to your husbands and tell them like it is. Also laughing if I were to do that hmmm God only knows what would happen. Not good I suppose but all I can say is if you get pushed to hard well they only have themselves to blame. Pizza sounds good tonight .

SS44 and his 6 year old daughter came over last week and I still have toys throughout the living room. I refuse to pick them up, and DH knows if I do, the toys will go straight in the wood stove for ashes.

My mom raised me - you make a mess, you clean it up - no one is your maid! And I follow this rule. I'm at the point in my marriage with DH is if he can't open his mouth when his kids come over and screw stuff up, then shut up when I start talking.

All I know is DH better start practicing because he's going to have 11-12 days of cooking, cleaning, kissing ass, and picking up after his lazy adults. Me - I have books to read and friends on ST to talk to (I have my priorities straight!)

Good for you for not picking up the toys. Maybe DH will pick them up once he steps on one. I remember when my kids were babies and it really hurts when you step on those little plastic toys.
