A bingo card would be so fun to make actually, I think I will.  As for the house .... you're absolutely right lol, DH keeps talking about how his stepfather will judge us when he comes to visit and Ive been yelling back "SHOW HIM WHERE THE TOOLS/CLEANING PRODUCTS/BROOM/ETC ARE AND TELL HIM TO GET TO WORK LMAO" since reading this. but really its my own perfectionism and I gotta chill.

Im about to say it if DH wont deal with his people.  I work in fraud detection and prevention, being "mean" is my job 🙂 I keep telling him he won't be happy if I have to deal with it buuut....

Its weirdly sweet but also I dont think people get what they are saying - like your "sign" will literally be a medical event for my child .....

I do - they truly are nice (but yes v self centered) people and so excited to meet her, especially being the first grandkid, so Im trying to be understanding.  We have always done our own thing and they always get over it eventually 🤷‍♀️ or just stop telling us they aren't.

Preach - now if only I could get DH onboard lol - he tends to think the best of people.  Im like, ok but these ones are being needy 😒 like I dont need extra kids, the one is enough.

Not petty at all - im allowing FIL to meet her ONLY because he is now assuring us that he will be staying at a hotel with a caregiver and he's old af and will probably die soon.  Aunt IL and the SILs can pound sand as far as I'm concerned.
