Thanksgiving Trouble

Do you think a husband should talk to his wife about who is coming to Thanksgiving  dinner before anyone else(his mom)??    I found out from my mother-in-law that my husbands cousin , her hubby and 3 children are coming to dinner.   I asked hubby why did he not tell me me?   He told me I was making a big deal over nothing.   I said no ,but as your wife I should find out from you not your mom leaving a message as to who is coming to dinner.   As it is his mom is telling me when she will be here staying in a hotel , for how many days and when hubbies grandma will be here(our house) and how many days she will stay with us for me to care for !! 

  I can not care for his grandma by my self, the girls will have to help.  My leg is still broken after 11 months, I have to have more surgery, I walk with a limp and am not anywhere near as strong as I was.  How am I to pick up and carry his grandma in and out of the tub to giver her a bath and pick her up when she falls??    I love his grandma , and will do my best.

Oh well, God Bless, mj

Oh so sorry! I do believe he should have at least discussed it with you and also be aware of your limitations.. I hope you have plenty of help!!

I've had this battle for over 33 years. Then I had to remember, about my son and me. He will come in and chat, about nothing. I think. But to his wife,( why don't he tell me). I think our children talk to us, just like they always did when they were little. Not thinking they are hurting anyone. My hubby is the same way with his mom. Yes I sometimes get upset, then I remember, my son.............I do think you should tell hubby, that you need his help and these people who are coming,they are your family, have them help you.......thats what family is for.
