Should I tell my parents to come to visit this weekend or should I change plans with them?
So this Monday, my parents decided to come visit me this weekend (I live 2.5 hours away). This was in part because I've not been feeling well lately and in part because they haven't visited in a while. They decided not to go to a cousin's housewarming, who they are rather close to, to come up here. Well....my husband's best friend decided midweek to come and visit his girlfriend who lives near us. He just moved to Indiana from here last month. Since we live in Georgia, this is quite a long way. His girlfriend decided to throw a big party on Saturday night while my parents will be here. We had talked to them about a cookout on Sunday, but I'm not sure if that will happen. Anyhow, should I tell my parents to come up next weekend instead, or should I just let my husband go to the party and hang out with my parents alone? I'm really torn over this and any input is greatly appreciated.
I'm mainly torn because my husband will feel guilty leaving guests at our house...but I'd rather them come up and tell him to go. I really would love some time with them.

the answer is obvious. of course your parents should come. you would be selfish and inconsiderate if you asked them to come next week, especially since you've had these plans with them since monday, especially since they cancelled other plans to visit you, and especially because it's a long drive. and they are family! i can't believe you would even be torn over this.
if your husband wants to go to the party, he should go. but be a good host and child and show your parents some respect.

Let your parents come as planned. They know you've not been feeling well and would like to see you. They've changed their plans because you are more important. Let them decide if they want to go to the party with your husband. It may be good for you, no one will have to worry about cooking or cleaning while they're there. They will have the chance to meet your friends in the area, like them and feel comfortable knowing that you have them. If they don't want to go, push them a little. Not only are they driving for a distance, they should at least have fun while they're there. You may even feel well enough to go yourself for a short time. Let your husband go, even if it's by himself to hang with his best friend. The cookout may not even happen as you say, so don't stress out over what may or may not be. Don't change your parents visit. Get better.

have you decided what you "actually want to do?" rather than i no what i want but what "shoudl i do" just go with that. just say sorry rents something big has come up, could we psotpone it to next week. if they say no then theres your answer. i doubt they'd get too offended eitehr they are your parents after all.

never put off seeing your parents for no1 cos u nebver no when theyre gonna leave you. let your partner go wheere he wants and see them alone, you probably need some time alone with them anyway,
